Facilities
The Wayne T. and Mary T. Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology
On October 2, 2009 Purdue University proudly dedicated a new addition to Discovery Park: The Wayne T. and Mary T. Hockmeyer Hall of Structural Biology. In this $34 million state-of-the-art facility Purdue's world-class structural biologists will be working on cutting-edge research. Research will encompass curing the common cold, developing drugs to fight the dengue and West Nile viruses and identifying ways to treat cancer more effectively through a better understanding of the metabolic process.
This 21st century facility will allow our structural biology team to be at the forefront in future advancements within structural biology. A special thanks to Drs. Wayne and Mary Hockmeyer for their generous $5.3 million gift and to the over 200 other Purdue alumni and friends that made this facility a reality.
