About the Institute for Systems Genomics

The University of Connecticut recently established the Institute for Systems Genomics (www.ISG.uconn.edu) to coalesce the interdisciplinary research strengths of 10 schools and colleges at the university (www.uconn.edu) and the Jackson Laboratory (www.Jax.org).  The Institute leverages the significant investment from the state, including the $865M Bioscience CT initiative, $172M Tech Park program, the $200M Bioscience Innovation Fund, and $1.7B Next Generation CT.
