National Biomedical Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Center

 Welcome 

James S. Hyde, PhD, Director and Professor of Biophysics

The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin is one of the largest EPR facilities in the nation with instrument capabilities for many types of EPR experiments.  Spectrometers currently in operation have the capabilities for S-, X-, L-, Q- , and W-band, ENDOR, ELDOR, Saturation-Transfer, Saturation Recovery, and multiquantum spectroscopy. 

The research conducted within the EPR Center includes both technological innovation and application of new techniques to biological problems.  The main areas of research are free radicals, spin labeling, metal complexes and metallo proteins.
