The Gold Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder was established in 1971 by Dr. Larry Gold upon his arrival at the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Starting with basic research on bacteria and bacteriophage, the lab shifted its focus to human disease following the invention of the SELEX process in 1989. The Gold Lab today focuses on the utilization of biological and information technology to improve healthcare.
Dr. Gold has been a major contributor to the MCDB department. We feel eternally grateful, so in honor of his amazing support, we renamed our main building to "Gold Biosciences". Thank you Dr. Gold!
