Some members of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology have begun the long-awaited exodus out of their laboratories to make room for a centralized space for stem cell researchers.
After MCB leaves the building, Fairchild will be gutted and renovated to prepare for the arrival of the stem cell researchers, who hope to be operational for the fall of 2011, according to Kathryn L. Link, executive director of SCRB.
In the following week, Foster said, four other MCB professors will move from their current space in Fairchild Labs to the Northwest Building, a fairly new structure whose “shell” space has been converted into functional laboratory spaces for their incoming occupants.
For example, a collection of enzymes were lost during the move this week, which has the potential to slow down research in the lab, according to Foster.
The recent moves come after months of planning and renovating in response to the Feb. 2009 announcement that MCB professors in Fairchild would be uprooted in order to create a unified space for SCRB, whose constituents are scattered across the Harvard campus.
