The magnetic resonance program spans all three institutions of the NHMFL. The
primary facilities for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron magnetic
resonance (EMR, including electron paramagnetic, spin, and cyclotron
resonance), and ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) are housed in Tallahassee.
Strong ties have been established with the Structural Biology Program, the
Center for Materials and Research Technology, and the Supercomputing
Computational Research Institute at Florida State University (FSU); the Center
for Structural Biology of the College of Medicine at the University of Florida
(UF); the Chemical Science and Technology Division at Los Alamos National
Laboratory; as well as with individual research groups in Biology,
Biochemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Physics at the three NHMFL
institutions. The primary site for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the
University of Florida Brain Institute, which offers extensive animal care and
surgical facilities. A prime and unique feature of CIMAR is its large-scale
integration of NMR, MRI, EMR, and ICR spectroscopies, which share many
conceptual (e.g., pulse sequences, heterodyning, quadrature
excitation/detection, double resonance, two-dimensional FT methods, etc.) and
technical (magnets, rf electronics, Fourier transform data reduction, etc.)
aspects. Continued cross-fertilization between these fields is facilitated at
NHMFL in several ways through a broad-based external and internal user
program.
