New laboratory space promotes ‘happy collisions’ among scientists

On Feb 5, 2021, USC Dornsife reported, Peter Kuhn recently took a stroll through what, sometime in spring 2021, will be the new home for his Convergent Science Institute in Cancer (CSI-Cancer) lab.

The space, which will encourage collaboration between undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff and clinical collaborators with expertise in physics, chemistry and biology, is one level below the lab’s current location, on the third floor of Michelson Hall on the University Park campus.

But it will be a whole new world.

“It’s one of those places that just exudes innovation,” says Kuhn, Dean’s Professor of Biological Sciences and professor of biological sciences, medicine, biomedical engineering, aerospace and mechanical engineering and urology at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, as well as a founding member of the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience.
