Research and Discovery
The University of Michigan has been on the forefront of diabetes research since the early 1900s.
Its long and impressive history has made it a nationally recognized institution
on the study and management of the disease. Today, the Michigan Comprehensive
Diabetes Center is making huge strides in solving the mystery of diabetes
and its origins, with one goal in mind: to find a cure.

The Brehm Coalition
The Brehm Coalition is a unique group of nine senior scientists from eight universities devoted to the creation of a new paradigm in medical research, based on an unprecedented level and style of laboratory collaboration. Their chosen research pathways are aimed at accelerating the search for a cure for Type1 diabetes. Dr. Peter Arvan represents the University of Michigan on this ground-breaking team, which was founded and funded by Bill and Dee Brehm.
