The Path to Discovery

Jennifer Brazil, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Michigan Medicine began her own research laboratory in 2018. She continued to research the mechanisms by which polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and epithelial glycans can be targeted to alter neutrophil transepithelial migration and neutrophil function under conditions of intestinal inflammation and repair.

Enhancing Heart Failure Patient Care with the MOS Dashboard

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), which measures your heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood out to your body, remains a leading cause of death and hospitalization worldwide. Over the last three decades, clinical trials have highlighted the efficacy of four key medication classes- Beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis), angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI), and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).

The Art of Science

Like prisms spread light in a variety of hues, Dr. Yang Xiao’s talents spread across multiple disciplines, creating a spectrum of color in this world. Dr. Xiao is one of Pathology’s newest faculty members and was recruited as a tenure-track assistant professor. However, she is not only a member of Pathology but also holds joint appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics departments and is a member of the Bioscience Initiative Single-Cell Spatial Analysis Program (SCSAP).

The Unseen Heroes of Healthcare

Pathology Laboratory Professionals Week is an annual celebration honoring the vital contributions of medical laboratory professionals to patient care and public health. This year, we celebrate from April 21 to 25, 2025.
