Center for the Sciences and Innovation (CSI)
Trinity’s integrated, 300,000-square-foot science and engineering complex contains glass-walled laboratories, classrooms, and offices that put science on display. CSI supports teaching and research in biomathematics in addition to multiple fields of biology, chemistry, and mathematics, among others.
Undergraduates also have the opportunity to learn and perform a variety of modern research techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, phase contrast and fluorescent microscopy, tissue culture, electrophysiology, confocal microscopy, and ultracentrifugation.
