Plan to attend: ‘Great Minds, Greater Discoveries’ kickoff event

In a message to the biomedical research community, Steven Kunkel, Ph.D., senior associate dean for research at the U-M Medical School and chief scientific officer for Michigan Medicine, recently announced the medical school’s new strategic research plan, “Great Minds, Greater Discoveries.” The multi-year plan will focus largely on people, who Kunkel noted are “our greatest resource.”

The objective of the new plan is to increase faculty competitiveness and their ability to pursue major scientific questions in a rich and diverse environment that leads to discoveries that inspire new preventions, treatments and cures.
