Visitors of the Center for Genome Innovation will be able to see our laboratory teaching space, sample processing labs and sequencing instrumentation. Visitors will also be given an overview of training opportunities, sample processing services and information on hands-on workshops in Next Generation Sequencing technology!  Exploring a core sequencing facility like the Center for Genome Innovation is the best way to see genomics in action!

Tours are available throughout the year for all faculty, staff and students, prospective students, and faculty candidates.  Class tours are also available for small groups (less than 10 individuals works best).  Tours of the Center for Genome Innovation are also available to local students, educators, and other working professionals.

Please email Bo Reese directly for more information.

Within the Institute for Systems Genomics, the Genome Ambassadors are a group of students, alumni, faculty, and staff at the University of Connecticut who embrace a philosophy of progressing the field of genomics towards achieving greater diversity among students and career professionals, developing students’ scientific communication skills by interacting with scientists and the public, understanding the broad implications of advancements in genomics, and increasing the genomic literacy of our community as a public education initiative.
