Srikrishnan Group Lab Manual

Overview

Welcome to the lab guide for the Srikrishnan Research Group in the Department of Biological & Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. The PI for the group is Vivek Srikrishnan.

This manual details lab procedures, policies, and expectations for new and existing research group members. It is divided into the following main sections:

1. Expectations and Conduct outlines the expectations we have for each other and ourselves to ensure a functional, healthy, and productive lab group;
2. Guides provides guides for common lab tasks and materials;
3. Resources contains a rudimentary knowledge base with some basic resources and how-tos. This will probably get shifted to a different format whenever I find the right one.
4. Joining the Group guides prospective and interested lab members through the process of joining the lab;
