Cross-disciplinary teams of MSU researchers are gaining recognition
for their pioneering solutions to the health challenges faced by women.
Community leaders across the world have long understood
that women’s health has a direct impact on
the well-being of children and families, the stability
of the workforce and, ultimately, the quality of life for
nations. Though MSU has been involved in exploring
women’s health issues for many decades, in recent
years that research has broadened to include all aspects
of women’s health, from unlocking the secrets behind
breast cancer to studying how to help women recover
from violence and other traumas.
“We are fortunate to have top researchers at MSU
who are looking at women’s health issues from many
different perspectives,” says J. Ian Gray, vice president
for research and graduate studies. “The quality
of their work has generated federal, state and private
funding, accolades from their peers and substantial
media attention.
“These studies will greatly impact women’s health.
Some of our scientific breakthroughs won’t begin to
improve women’s health and women’s lives for several
years—that’s the rigorous course of science. But when
you consider what we are doing right now, you can’t
help but be excited by our potential and our progress.”
