The Medical School has been recognized as a site for state-of-the-art research
activities and innovative medical education since its inception. Research
conducted at the Medical School is nationally recognized and received $303.7
million in total research funds in 2004. |
The Biophysics program is housed in the Chemistry Building on main campus.
You can find find great science venues such as the this all over campus |
The University of Michigan Hospital was founded in 1869 as the first teaching
hospital in the nation. It has since become a nationally ranked hospital
that houses over 1600 faculty members. |
The graduate and professional programs at the University consistently rank
among the top in the nation. As a student you will receive the high quality
of research and teaching, from among the many disciplines, needed to prepare
you for your future career. |
In addition to state-of-the-art research buildings the University also has
several on site core research facilities that include DNA sequencing and
Flow Cytometry Cores to name a few. |
Space in the BSRB is planned around scientific themes rather than the traditional department model allowing faculty working on similar projects to be in close proximity to
encourage collaboration and innovation. |
The Life Sciences Institute brings together health sciences, basic sciences,
engineering, the social sciences, and the humanities to be a center for collaboration
among researchers to focus on the biological problems of human health. |

Research is an integral part of the PIBS program. With over 300 research
faculty members in highly ranked departments students are assured of
finding a match to their academic and professional interests. Research
is central to the University;s mission and permeates its schools and
colleges. Currently several initiatives are underway to expand its
research and teaching in all fields of the life sciences. To date,
the effort has committed nearly $900 million to new facilities, programs
and people, that will expand on the University's excellence and interdisciplinary
research in basic science, health sciences, engineering, social science
and the humanities.
Excellence in research is a crucial element in the University's high
rank among educational institutions. National surveys consistently
place the University's graduate and professional schools among the
top 10 which reflect the research record and other contributions made
by the University of Michigan.
