Strolling Science: Biomedical Researchers & You
Curious about the latest findings in fields such as obesity, vision loss and autoimmune disorders?
Join some of U-M's most distinguished physician-researchers for an informal and informative 'speed science' gathering at the Cranbrook Institute of Science.
How are wearable devices helping doctors recognize infections earlier? What role do llamas - yes, llamas - play in the potential for new vaccines? What exactly is a physician-researcher, and why do we need many more of them?
From cutting-edge technologies to groundbreaking discoveries, you'll have the chance to hear directly from the eminent clinician-scientists from the Taubman Institute, a U-M community supporting the biomedical thought leaders at Michigan Medicine.
Our experts in the following fields will be on hand to discuss their research and the most promising treatments for:
Autoimmune disorders
Cancer
Dementia
Depression
Diabetes
Food allergy
Obesity
Ocular diseases
Wearable technology for research and diagnosis
Discover how their work impacts your daily life and learn about the incredible potential of biomedical research.
Also on hand will be Taubman Scholar Kathy Collins, MD, PhD, the director of the MD/PhD program at Michigan Medicine. She'll talk about the career path for physician-researchers and why we need more clinician-investigators.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with the scientists who are shaping the future of healthcare!
