UW-Madison is part of a new Wisconsin Center of Excellence in Genomics Science, created through an $8 million, three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Campus researchers Lloyd Smith, Joshua Coon, Audrey Gasch and James Thomson are joining scientists at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Marquette University in the center, coordinated by the Medical College. Smith, a U-W Madison professor of chemistry, is a co-director, as is Michael Olivier of the Medical College.
