research center that provides state-of-the-art magnetic resonance
instrumentation and expertise to researchers at the University of Oregon
and the wider community. Primary users are from the Department of
Chemistry & Biochemistry, the Institute of Molecular Biology, and the
Materials Science Institute, as well as numerous local and regional
private companies. The NMR Facility plays an integral role in hands-on
research experience and training for more than 100 graduate and
undergraduate students and impacts many more students enrolled in the
undergraduate Chemistry lab curriculum. In keeping with CAMCOR's “high
