The state-of-the-art facility was made possible through state funding support from Perzel to the Sbarro Health Research Organization.
“Since Speaker Perzel, and now Chairman Civera, began to learn about the Sbarro Health Research Organization, our productivity and our goal to produce technology to benefit humans has increased tremendously over the past three years,” said Giordano, who also is director of the Center for Biotechnology in the College of Science and Technology.
“This facility would not have been possible without their support.”
