We are honored to have been selected for a competitive renewal of the Research Scouts Award from the University of Michigan. The Research Scouts program is an investment in the “Bold Science” objective of Michigan Medicine’s research strategic plan, with the goal of catalyzing new and exciting lines of investigation. Scouts Awards are intended to fund early stage ideas that challenge common dogma and have the potential to be paradigm shifting. Thank you to Dr. Bing Ye, the Research Scout who initially selected our lab in 2023, and to the Bold Sciences Team for believing in us and providing this additional investment in our research program!
