MCB is developing many connections with the new Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine that has just opened on the Farmington Campus. A number of MCB faculty have already submitted grant proposals with JaxGM faculty, there are internship agreements with the Applied Genomics and Microbial Systems Analysis professional science master’s programs in MCB, as well as several other initiatives under discussion. MCB welcomes JaxGM to the Connecticut biomedical research community, and looks forward to a strong relationship with our new colleagues.
