Selected Faculty Teams and Projects
Research interests from around SLU are represented in the ISE building, including:
- Center for Additive Manufacturing
- Computational/Structural Biology
- Department of Computer Science
- PATH - People and Technology Horizon
- Taylor Geospatial Institute
- Walter J. Ong, S.J. Center for Digital Humanities

The departments of biology and chemistry also have teaching labs in the building.
Projects with dedicated space will be evaluated for continuation based on interdisciplinary collaborations formed, publications, grants, how often the space is occupied and student opportunities provided. A non-dedicated Research Incubator space is available to faculty, staff or students as needed.
