A distinct advantage of the Wynne Center for Family Research is its location within the Department of Psychiatry and the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Wynne Center faculty members are able to collaborate with other outstanding researchers in Psychiatry and other clinical departments of the Medical Center, as well as the University at large.
