Gold
Anesthesiology Laboratory
9/12/2011
Research interests include elucidating mechanisms by which opioids, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and general anesthetics alter breathing and arousal states. Studies aim to identify brain regions, receptors, and signaling pathways that regulate arousal states and state-dependent changes in breathing. Methods employed include but are not limited to: in vivo microdialysis, intracranial drug administration, sleep studies, HPLC, whole body plethysomography, capillary electrophoresis interfaced to laser-induced florescence, and in vitro autoradiography.
"We welcome the opportunity provided by the OCS program to insure our laboratories perform state-ofthe-art research that also incorporates evidence-based practices designed to minimize negative environmental impact." Ralph Lydic, Ph.D., Professor and Associate Chair for Anesthesia Research
Mueller Laboratory, College of Pharmacy
8/24/2011
Research interests include in-vitro continuous renal replacement therapy. Equipment is used to simulate dialysates with different drugs, physiologic chemicals and Cobas machine is employed to determine the quantity of these constituents.
“It was relatively easy to realign our lab practices to become more eco—friendly. We are proud to be the first lab at the College of Pharmacy to be recognized as a UM Sustainable Lab” Bruce A. Mueller, Pharm. D., FCCP, FASN, FNKF Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Department of Clinical, Social, and Administrative Services, College of Pharmacy
Silver
Meyerhoff Laboratory Chemistry 3316 & 3317
8/09/2016
Our research interests are in the areas of bioanalytical chemistry, electrochemical and optical sensors, and novel nitric oxide releasing/ generating biomaterials/ devices and NO related therapeutic agents. Primary equipment that we use but not limited to are chemiluminescence-based nitric oxide analyzers, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, potentiostats, and water baths. Hazardous and solid waste generated in the lab is disposed of adhering to OSEH guidelines.
“We are proud to be a Sustainable Lab at the University of Michigan. As a green lab, we strive to raise awareness of the environmental implications of our research and continue sustainable lab practices. By limiting our negative impact on the environment, we increase the positive effect we can have on the research community.” Yaqi Wo,Dr. Joanna Zajda, and Joshua Doverspike, Safety Liaisons
Lehnert Laboratory
6/16/2014
Lehnert laboratory specializes in synthetic biomimetic chemistry, including the use of various organic reagents and transition metals, and catalyst development. We employ spectroscopy and computational studies in our research. Hazardous waste generated in our lab is properly collected, segregated and manifested for proper disposal adhering to U-M OSEH guidelines.
“Exceptionally fast-paced, cutting edge research is status quo at University of Michigan; however, programs that educate on sustainable practices and encourage sustainable research without draining momentum in research development are quite rare. The Sustainable Lab Program has made implementing sustainable practices in our workplace a fast and easy process, pinpointing problematic laboratory methods and revising them with minimally invasive modifications. The program has resulted in changes that conserve both resources and money in our lab, and provide a realistic outlook on the expectations for progressive yet sustainable research.” Shawn Eady, Safety Liaison
Monroe Laboratory
2/21/2014
Our lab focuses on electrochemical engineering and the kinetic or transport processes within electrochemical energy storage systems. We perform many battery-testing and electrolyte characterization experiments. Many of the chemicals we use are air and moisture sensitive, so we use them in an Argon-filled glove box. We also have two potentiostats, two conductivity meters, a battery tester, and a UV-VIS spectrometer. Currently much of our research focuses on metal-air batteries, so we have special cells and a special air manifold designed to perform these experiments.
"It seemed logical that a research laboratory focusing on developing lower impact alternative energy storage systems should be conscientious of its own environmental impact. " James Saraidardis, Safety Liaison
Laine Laboratory
11/08/2013
Our research focuses on the synthesis and processing of inorganic and organometallic hybrid polymers and nano oxide powders. Research in the hybrid area emphasizes the synthesis and characterization of nano building based on polyfunctional octahedral and dodecahedral silsequoioxanes. Research in the nano oxide powder area emphasizes the direct synthesis of single and mixed metal oxide nano powders by flame spray pyrolysis of mixed metal metalloorganics.
"Our group strives to synthesize advanced multifunctional materials by using readily available and sustainable raw materials. " David Pan, Safety Liaison
Matzger Laboratory
5/01/2013
Our group focuses on small molecule crystallization, crystallization of explosives, organic synthesis. Techniques used in our lab represent but not limited to flow chemistry, X-Ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and gas chromatography. Our waste streams consist of hazardous solid and liquid wastes including syringe waste.
“The Sustainable Lab Recognition Program was a great opportunity to be exposed to a breadth of campus sustainability. I appreciated the helpful process in thinking about how my lab can work towards being more sustainable.” Rachel Barnard, Safety Liaison
Soellner Laboratory
1/25/2013
Our group focuses on studying biochemical pathways involved in cancer growth and progression. To do so, we utilize synthetic organic chemistry to develop small molecule probes which are tested in a biochemical setting using fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy assays. The probes which perform well in such assays are then tested in cells to elucidate the role of enzymes such as protein tyrosine kinases within a specific pathway.
"The Sustainable Lab Recognition Program helped us to evaluate our everyday practices in terms of environmental impact and energy conservation. Practical suggestions from the OCS staff enabled us to improve the sustainability and safety of our lab." Sameer Phadke and Christel Fox, Safety Liaisons
Yang Laboratory
1/24/2013
Research in the Yang Lab focuses on design of adsorbents for fossil fuels using liquid phase adsorbents, carbon dioxide removal from fuel gas and the atmosphere and hydrogen adsorption for hydrogen storage.
"While we research ways to reduce the effect of millions of users of fossil fuels, we recognize that by doing our part to be sustainable we can also make large steps towards solving the problem." Nick Stuckert, Safety Liaison
Kotov Laboratory
11/09/2012
Research in the Kotov laboratory focuses on the layer-by-layer assembly of Nano-components and polymer counter parts. In addition, we carry out the syntheses of inorganic nanoparticles including gold, CdTe, CdS, FeS2 in aqueous solutions. These reactions are carried out at room temperature or at 100 o C. Solvents like propanol, methanol and other solvents are used to purify the compounds we make.
"We, Kotov lab, always try to keep sustainability, including safety, health, and reducing waste, in everyday laboratory practices which will be beneficial not only for labs but also for environment." Yoonseob Kim, Safety Liaison
