Enhancing the Michigan Medicine Research Community
Clinical and epidemiological studies demonstrate a strong link between diseases of the heart and the brain. Many within the U-M research community are at the forefront of research examining the connection between these two critical organs.
The newly formed Stanley and Judith Frankel Institute for Heart and Brain Health (Frankel IHBH) will bring current and new U-M researchers together to unravel the biological mechanisms that the heart and brain have in common, as well as how these organs signal to each other and impact clinical outcomes.
Collaboration and engagement with the clinical and scientific community at the University of Michigan is essential to the success of Frankel IHBH, we are actively developing initiatives and events to facilitate such interactions for our members.
Discovering the root causes of heart and brain disease, determining how these organs communicate with each other, and developing the treatments of tomorrow.
Our discoveries will propel life-changing new approaches to the prevention and treatment of heart and brain diseases.
The American Heart Association funds scientists at University of Michigan, Northwestern University and University of Pittsburgh for studies focused on closing knowledge gaps about inflammation’s role in cardiac and brain dysfunction.
The Departments of Molecular & Integrative Physiology and Cell & Developmental Biology in conjunction with the Stanley and Judith Frankel Institute for Heart and Brain Health at the University of Michigan Medical School invite applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level.
