Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D.

Carolyn M. Mazure, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and psychology and associate dean for faculty affairs, was inducted into the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame in October for her work that explores gender-specific differences in the causes, treatment, and prevention of cancers, osteoporosis, depression, and other disorders more prevalent in women. Mazure created the Women’s Health Research at Yale (WHRY) program in 1998 based on the premise that understanding gender differences is vitally important to the health of both women and men. WHRY—which Mazure began with a grant from the Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation of West Hartford—has grown to become a national model for conducting research on women’s health and disseminating findings with real-world benefits to the community.
