Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology

The Kellner Center for Neurogenomics, Behavior, and Society is dedicated to studying the connection between our genes, brains, and our behavior – and how that impacts our communities. 

The Kellner Center brings together the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB), the Center for Social & Behavioral Science (CSBS), and the School of Social Work (SSW) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The Kellner Center is housed in the Gene Networks in Neural and Developmental Plasticity (GNDP) Research theme at the IGB.
