Biology Facilities

Biology majors at Illinois Wesleyan have access to state-of-the-art facilities in the Center for Natural Science, Learning and Research.
These facilities include eight biology teaching laboratories and eight faculty/student research labs.
All of our laboratory equipment and facilities are available for student use, including molecular-techniques instrumentation, a scanning electron microscope, a Nikon interference phase contrast and fluorescence microscope, and a video data collection system.
