| Research in Michigan | |||||||||
 Medical research involving genetics is a large and rapidly growing field. There are different types of genetic research. Basic scientific research looks at how living systems work. Clinical research seeks to better understand how diseases occur and helps to find out what treatments may be most effective. Other types of research examine how communities, families, and individuals learn about or use genetic information, or how genetic diseases affect population groups. Michigan families and health care providers may want to know where to get more information about clinical research studies in the state and nationwide. Sometimes researchers need more people for their studies. In order to better understand genetic conditions and discover new cures or treatments, it is important for patients and their families to be willing to participate in research.   This
