Monell Academic Partnership Program
Monell’s academic collaborative network is extensive, bringing added strength and expertise to the Center’s research mission. Institutions who have particularly strong collaborative ties are invited to formalize these collaborations through a memorandum of understanding.
Since its inception, the Monell Center has been closely associated with the University of Pennsylvania. Originally established as an institute at Penn, Monell now operates as an independent nonprofit organization, but retains many ties with the University.
Members of Monell’s faculty hold adjunct appointments in departments and schools throughout Penn, including the Schools of Medicine (Neuroscience), Veterinary Medicine (Anatomy, Animal Biology, Biochemistry), and Dental Medicine (Anatomy and Cellular Biology).
Additional past and present research projects have involved collaborations with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Wistar Institute, and also with researchers and clinicians at other local institutions, including Thomas Jefferson University, Drexel University, Rutgers, Swarthmore College, and the Nemours/Dupont Hospital for Children.
