VISION


The fulfillment of CRCM aspirations will continue to be achieved because of the Center's vision, which includes the development of a team of outstanding medical investigators (scientists and clinicians) from a variety of disciplines who can work together such that the product of their endeavors is greater than the sum of their individual efforts.   This synergy will result from studies that combine state-of-the-art techniques in molecular biology focused on genetics and cell biology with clinical and outcomes research. Integral to this approach is that the CRCM be both a center "with and without walls".  With this dual structure, the CRCM can assure that productive research opportunities will extend beyond its boundaries to encompass local, regional, national and international collaborations.

The success and direction of the CRCM will be measured by its ability to adhere to a basic philosophic tenet.  This principle is that the research to be conducted in and supported by the CRCM must be primarily relevant to the needs of the community that the Hospital, Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University serve.  If we are true to this purpose, then the CRCM will fulfill both its local mandate and its global responsibility and become a leading pediatric research center.
