About the Keck Biotechnology Resource Laboratory and Its Operating Policies
The W.M. Keck Foundation Biotechnology Resource Laboratory was founded in 1980 as the Yale University School of Medicine Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry Facility. In 1987 this unit became associated with HHMI; in 1991 it was moved into 3,200 square feet of space on the third and fourth floors of the newly constructed Boyer Center for Molecular Medicine, whereupon it became the W.M. Keck Foundation Biotechnology Resource Laboratory; and in 1997 it joined with the Mass Spectrometry Resource in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since its founding in 1980 the Keck Biotechnology Resource Laboratory has recovered most of its operating expenses from user fees.
