GIRL SCOUTS of CONNECTICUT HONOR CAROLYN M. MAZURE
NEW HAVEN, CT -- Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D., Director of Women’s Health Research at Yale, was honored at the Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s inaugural “Women of Achievement” event April 6th in North Haven.
The breakfast event was meant to honor women of achievement and distinction selected from Greater New Haven community and business leaders. As the Girl Scouts said, Mazure is among “women who inspire us all with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism and service.”
Women’s Health Research at Yale was established in 1998 on the premise that understanding gender differences in health is vitally important to the health of both women and men. The interdisciplinary program, which has become a national model, is dedicated to exploring the wide range conditions that are more prevalent in women or for which the causes, treatment and prevention have gender-specific differences.
Mazure, a nationally recognized researcher, is professor of psychiatry and psychology, and associate dean for faculty affairs at the Yale School of Medicine. Last fall, she was inducted into the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, in recognition of her vision in founding Women’s Health Research at Yale, and in honor of the influence she has had on biomedical research and health care.
