The UCLA Molecular Instrumentation Center The UCLA Molecular Instrumentation Center (MIC) is a state-of-the-art campus-wide facility dedicated to enabling the use of modern instrumentation in molecular characterizations (www.mic.ucla.edu). The MIC is housed within and managed through the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The professional staff consists of twelve Ph.D. level staff members, one postdoctoral fellow, and one graduate student assistant. The staff is responsible for operating, maintaining, and upgrading the equipment, training users, and providing consultation for the application of modern instrumentation to a large variety of disciplines.
