Research
The Health Center recruits distinguished researchers with expertise in neuroscience, molecular biology, molecular pharmacology, biochemistry, cell physiology, toxicology, and endocrinology, among other fields. The Alcohol Research Center is one of only fourteen such federally supported centers in the nation; the Connecticut Clinical Chemosensory Research Center is one of five.
In 2010, the university established the Cell and Genome Sciences Building, which includes its new Stem Cell Institute as well as cell biology and genetics research in its Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling and Department of Genetics and Developmental Biology. The new center allows UConn scientists to work in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative setting in stem cell research and accelerate discoveries that ultimately could lead to therapies treating a broad range of diseases and disorders.

—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
