As one of the most powerful academic medical research engines in the country, the University of Michigan Medical School empowers our scientists and clinicians to work together to transform the biggest challenges in biomedicine into breakthroughs in patient care.
Research is the Reason
Groundbreaking discoveries that happen daily at the University of Michigan Medical School are made possible by our unique system of collaboration and innovation. We bring together expert researchers, clinicians and clinician-scientists across disciplines and provide them the tools, training and funding they need to make connections that are crucial to medical breakthroughs.
Constantly Evolving
Patient needs are constantly evolving, impacting the future of health care Now more than ever, it's vital to empower diverse approaches to science and medicine. Through the U-M Medical School's interconnected research areas, we bring together experts from an array of fields to collaborate, innovate and make discoveries that transform patient lives.
About the University of Michigan Medical School
Since its founding in 1850, the University of Michigan Medical School has forged a strong leadership role in American academic medicine.
Office of Research
The Michigan Clinical Research Unit (MCRU) is excited to announce the development of an overnight RN pool to support overnight/extended hours. If you have current or upcoming studies that require overnight RN services in MCRU, contact [email protected] for more information.
Health Lab
In emergency rooms and intensive care units across the country, clinicians make split-second decisions about which antibiotics to give a patient when a life threatening infection is suspected. Now, a study reveals that these decisions may have unintended consequences for patient outcomes.
Health Lab
Recent developments represent a dramatic change from long standing federal policy around these substances that has historically criminalized their use and blocked or delayed research efforts into their therapeutic potential.
Health Lab
Using human cells in an animal body, a team of researchers has developed a functional model of thoracic aortic aneurysm, creating opportunities for more effective understanding of disease development and treatments for the potentially fatal condition.
The Fundamentals
Dr. Jody Platt. She is an Associate Professor of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. Trained in medical sociology and health policy, her research focuses on issues at the intersection of informatics and ethics. She is interested in understanding what makes data-driven health trusted, and the pathways for earning, achieving, and sustaining trust across stakeholders. Dr. Platt is the Academy Health and ABIM Foundation Senior Scholar in Residence advising on issues of measuring and building trust.
Health Lab
Building a comprehensive human kidney cell and tissue catalog could help develop more treatments for kidney disease.
Learn about the G4, a bench-top sequencer with novel high-performance chemistry and advanced
engineering, optimized to deliver unmatched power, speed, and flexibility, and the G4XTM Spatial Sequencer, a high-throughput in situ spatial sequencer for transcriptomic and proteomic analysis from FFPE samples at subcellular resolution.
This course is intended for those unfamiliar with eResearch, the university’s electronic research administration site. This course will provide a basic knowledge of working in and using eResearch while examining the process for creating and submitting an initial project application.
This multi-day, virtual workshop is for researchers who manage lots of data and/or execute compute-intensive analyses.
This course offers an overview of some special situations relating to informed consent. Specifically, waivers and alterations of informed consent, waivers of documentation of informed consent, and obtaining consent from non-English speakers.
This course will identify what constitutes an Adverse Event, ORIO, and Unanticipated Problem and how such events impact risk to subjects. Additionally, the course will review the requirements of reporting such events to the IRB and other entities.
This course is a follow-up to Initial Project Applications and will examine the process for submitting amendments and scheduled continuing reviews to IRBMED using eResearch once a project’s initial application has been approved.
Presented by the Clinical Trials Support Office, a unit of the Medical School Office of Research, the Research Foundations for Investigators series is for early-career investigators and their teams that are looking to develop their skills and grow their research portfolio. Session 3 data management best practices.
This course will review when studies are required to have a DSMP or DSMB and how to develop an appropriate DSMP. A DSMB is an independent group that advises the study team regarding subject safety, study conduct, and efficacy. The DSMB will also make recommendations concerning the continuation, modification, or termination of the trial. A DSMP outlines how subject safety and data integrity will be maintained to ensure the validity of collected data.
This course will review the fundamentals of maintaining confidentiality of subject data, including data encryption and protection, using secure environments and external websites, and distinguishing among anonymized, coded, and de- identified datasets.
