Shepardson Research Labs

Colorado State University is an exciting environment for research in general, and agricultural biotechnology research in particular. Greenhouses and several research buildings for the biological-agricultural sciences departments are being renovated. This active, well-funded research environment is enhanced by the Shepardson building.

Shepardson brings together applied and basic expertise of faculty members in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture (HLA) for collaborative projects that are difficult to carry out within traditional academic boundaries. The third floor includes faculty research laboratories doing biochemical, molecular and genetic research, common-use equipment rooms and autoclave areas.

		Post-docs play an important role in our department. For example, Dr. Vepachedu is teaching M.S. student, Tanner Hagelstrom, research techniques in plant molecular biology.
		Dr. Neelam Sharma performing protein biochemistry research in Shepardson Research Labs.
