Showcasing the Transformative Impact of U-M Innovation

Discovery is only half the work. From scientists working across universities and federal agencies to better protect the Great Lakes, to a system that turns U-M lab discoveries into companies, this edition of Michigan Research is about the connections — between universities and agencies, labs and companies, archives and the public — that turn knowledge into something the world can actually use.

Explore this edition featuring the partnerships and pipelines reshaping how research reaches people — including a brain-modeling effort tracing the navigation cells that fail in Alzheimer’s, an algorithm that reveals the hidden conversations between individual cells, and a project opening 150 years of U-M dissertations to 2.3 million readers across 200 countries.
