The University of Georgia Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) was created in fall 2012 with Stephen Dalton, PhD, as its founding director. Construction of a new ~43,000-sq.-ft. state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility was recently completed.
The building’s dedication will be held Sept. 20, 2017, to be followed by a two-day symposium to mark the Center’s opening. The Symposium, taking place October 10-11, 2017, will feature world leaders in the field of ‘molecular medicine.’ Topics will include stem cells and regenerative medicine, disease modeling and target identification, drug discovery and immunity.
