Another medical milestone was laid last week in Grand Rapids with the announcement of a collaborative effort culminating in a cutting-edge laboratory dedicated to the research of women’s health issues.
The lab is a joint effort of GVSU, Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine, the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative, and Spectrum Health.
By mid-February, workers will begin establishing the lab on the fifth floor of the GVSU Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences. The lab will address a broad range of research on women’s health issues by a team of researchers led by Dr. Richard E. Leach, the MSU College of Human Medicine chair for obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology.
Researchers will have dedicated wet lab space as well as the use of existing WMSTI space already outfitted with 100 pieces of lab equipment.
One year ago, the three institutions signed an agreement to collaborate on future research and academic projects by sharing resources and talent.
