Discovery to Cure Internship Program
The Discovery to Cure program provides high school students with hands-on research experience in biomedical laboratories at Wayne State University. Through mentorship from faculty scientists and exposure to cutting-edge research, students gain insight into careers in science and medicine while contributing to meaningful scientific work. Your support helps inspire and train the next generation of scientists dedicated to women’s and children’s health.
Maternal Medicine and Preterm Birth Research
Detroit continues to face one of the highest preterm birth rates in the United States. Researchers at the Mott Center are working to better understand the biological, environmental, and clinical factors that contribute to pregnancy complications and preterm birth. By developing improved diagnostic tools, preventive strategies, and targeted interventions, this research aims to improve maternal health and ensure healthier outcomes for mothers and babies in our community and beyond.
