Dr. Lance Bauer is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and PI of the NIAAA-funded Alcohol Research Center. He is co-PI of a T32-funded Institutional Training Program in Alcohol Research for postdoctoral fellows. Dr. Bauer plays a vital role in the activities of the Department of Psychiatry and UConn Health by serving on the ARC's Executive Committee, Scientific Advisory Committees for the CRC and IRB, and the Senior Appointments and Promotions Committee for the School of Medicine. His research program focuses on cognitive dysfunction and its contribution to psychopathology.
Dr. Bauer is also involved in research at the national level. He is a member of the Research Society on Alcoholism and the College on Problems of Drug Dependence. In addition, he is frequently called upon to review grant proposals for the NIH.
