StemCONN 2011,
the stem cell symposium
held in
Farmington March 22, included morning and afternoon
scientific sessions that showcased leading stem cell
researchers from within and without Connecticut.
"The state’s
investment in stem cell research, accomplished
through ground-breaking legislation in 2005, is
paying dividends in many ways - supporting major
research advances, making possible state-of-the-art
research facilities, and creating jobs," said
Dr. Laura Grabel, chair of the StemCONN 2011
Organizing Committee and professor of biology at
Wesleyan University.
The morning
scientific session was chaired by Dr. Grabel and the
afternoon session by Dr. Marc Lalande, professor of
genetics and developmental biology at the University
of Connecticut Health Center.
The event, which
was introduced by Connecticut Governor Dannel
Malloy, included a scientific poster session and a
tour of the new Cell and Genome Sciences Building at
400 Farmington Avenue in Farmington.

program, speakers abstracts, and abstracts of the
poster presentations can be downloaded from the
