Raclin

Sonicu Lab Monitoring System

Notre Dame has adopted a state-of-the-art lab monitoring system called Sonicu.  Originating from a sensor application for sound management within neonatal intensive care units, Sonicu has evolved into a leading name in wireless monitoring systems. Based in central Indiana, Sonicu delivers automated monitoring with real-time data and insights. Sonicu provides machine-to-machine smart sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and air pressure. In addition, Sonicu hardware includes other key benefits:

  • Monitor and acknowledge alarms from a mobile device
  • Experience extended sensor battery life
  • Access the system without a VPN connection

Opened in 1983, Freimann Life Science Center is comprised of two state-of-the-art animal facilities equipped to house a wide variety of vertebrates.


Harper

Harper Hall

Home of the Mike and Josie Harper Cancer Research Institute, Harper Hall was opened in 2011. The building serves as a novel collaboration between the University of Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine South Bend. To learn more about Harper Hall, watch this video. 


Mccourtney

McCourtney Hall

Opened in 2016, McCourtney Hall is dedicated to research in the molecular sciences and engineering. Researchers from the Colleges of Engineering and Science have joined forces in the state-of-the-art building to tackle three key programmatic areas: analytical sciences and engineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, and drug discovery. 


Raclin

Raclin-Carmichael Hall

In addition to housing medical education programs for the IU School of Medicine South Bend, the second floor of Raclin-Carmichael Hall is home to the W. M. Keck Center for Transgene Research. Opened in 2005, the Hall also features research space with modern gross-anatomy laboratories.
