The governor and other state and federal dignitaries will join officials from the University of Connecticut at noon Monday to dedicate the school’s new Cell and Genome Sciences Building at its Health Center campus in Farmington.
The building at 400 Farmington Ave. houses high tech research, including the UConn Stem Cell Core, genetic sequencing, computer modeling and incubator space for emerging bioscience industries.
Staff includes more than 100 chemists, physicists, geneticists, biologists, mathematicians and computer scientists to fuel advanced research and ultimately, the transfer of that technology to the marketplace and patient care.
Gov. Dannel Malloy, Congressman Christopher Murphy, Acting UConn President Philip E. Austin and UConn medical school Dean Dr. Cato T. Laurencin are among those slated to deliver remarks.
A tour of the facility also is planned.
