The Biophysics Instrumentation Facility (BIF) is part of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and is located in Room 4420 on the 4th Floor of the Hector F. DeLuca Biochemical Sciences Building. The facility provides access to state-of-the-art instrumentation focused on the study of conformations, activities and assembly of biological and other macromolecules. While each instrument provides distinct insight, the ensemble enables a thorough characterization of structure, function, and interaction of biological assemblies. For information regarding instrument training and use, please contact BIF staff Darrell McCaslin (office 4428A – off of main lab) or Dan Stevens (office 5404D – 5th floor on east end of hallway).
