FROM THE NEWSROOM: (HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced the award of $9.8 million in stem cell research funds to 23 Connecticut–based researchers. The awards were made by the State of Connecticut Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee at its Monday grant review meeting in Farmington. “Connecticut’s investment in stem cells continues to position the state on the cutting edge of biomedical research,” said Governor Malloy. “These grants are critical to keeping and recruiting top scientists and help make possible innovative research that serves to improve people’s lives.” One hundred and nine stem cell fund applications were received in January 2013. The Connecticut Stem Cell Research Peer Review Committee reviewed these applications in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines and provided to the Advisory Committee its recommendations with respect to the scientific merits of each application. “Connecticut’s stem cell program continues to fund some of the best basic and advanced stem cell research,” said Department of Public Health Commissioner and Advisory Committee Chairperson Dr. Jewel Mullen. “This cutting-edge research holds great promise for clinical applications that will help address a number of significant health challenges.”
