About This Event

On top of being organized, proactive, and methodical, good researchers must have an excellent imagination. How else can we envision brighter days ahead if we don’t ask questions that, if answered, could lead humanity to a better future? At Michigan Medicine, many of our researchers are the kind of visionaries who could help us cross the bridge between science fiction and reality.

In this webinar, we feature just a handful of these inquisitive scientists who are undertaking projects inspired by big dreams. They’ve imagined a future where we can catch cancer before it metastasizes, where we can search for a test to diagnose bipolar disorder, where there’s no functional difference between prosthetic and biological limbs, and several other possibilities for making our health, and our lives, better. Join our experts in discussing some of the ways we are using our research expertise to advance goals that seem out of this world.
