Inside UAB's High-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility

Most high-end lab equipment is inaccessible to the public eye, but one of UAB's most powerful drug-discovery tools is clearly visible from the Campus Green. The Central Alabama High Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facilityoccupies a gleaming ground-floor space in the Chemistry Building. Its massive magnets give researchers invaluable insight into disease-causing proteins — and the data they need to find new ways to stop them.
