Through seminars, events, and journal clubs, faculty and students, the Institute of Molecular Biology has built a curiosity-driven community that allows researchers with common interests to work together. About 90% of tenured IMB faculty members have at least one paper published with a UO colleague, and many have collaborative grants.  Reflecting the collaborative philosophy of both the IMB and the University of Oregon, all life science, chemistry, and physics laboratories occupy contiguous space in the Lokey Science Complex (eight attached buildings).
