Common Vector Robotics, Motmot, OmegaCool, and Ollivate each received a $425,000 initial investment and will compete in the final round in spring 2027 Following four industry-specific semifinal competitions, four startups are advancing to the 2027 PitchMI Championship — Common Vector Robotics, Motmot, OmegaCool, and Ollivate — as the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and Michigan …
A new study from the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine shows that single-dose gene therapy did more than halt inherited blindness in adult retinas — it actually prompted mature cells to rebuild damaged connections and recover lost vision. When researchers at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine recently restored vision in adult …
When you get your yearly flu shot, you’re helping your body stay one step ahead of the rapidly mutating influenza virus. But what if there was a way to achieve stronger, multi-year protection from a single jab? With the support of a new grant from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, Michigan State University …
Summary We rely on GPS to help locate where we are, but satellite signals can be blocked or disrupted inside buildings, underground, in dense urban environments and in other challenging settings. A new approach from Michigan State University allows physically separate wireless systems to synchronize with one another in real time without cables or using …
From coal miners and construction crews to engineered stone countertop fabricators and foundry workers, more than 2.2 million U.S. workers inhale fine particles of rock, sand or coal every day on the job. After years of exposure, trapped dust can cause thick scar tissue to build up inside the lungs leading to long-term lung damage …
MSU receives $20 million NSF grant for a new shared-use facility Summary Space radiation can damage conventional electronics, creating challenges for spacecraft operating beyond low Earth orbit and for future missions farther into space. Michigan State University is establishing a shared-use facility that brings together advanced diamond and carbon materials, device fabrication and high-energy radiation …
A first-of-its-kind NIH grant was awarded to Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and Corewell Health. Co-investigators André Bachmann, PhD, MS, professor and associate chair for research in the MSU Department of Pediatrics and Human Development, and Caleb Bupp, MD, FACMG, division chief of Medical Genetics and Genomics at Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children’s …
Dr. Tamara Bush and Dr. Justin Scott have spent years studying how seating design can help reduce pressure injuries for patients with limited mobility. Their work led to Sit SenseTM, a smart seating technology that automatically redistributes pressure by adjusting a patient’s position before vulnerable areas of the body are placed at greater risk. Built …
For decades, cardiovascular drug development has faced a costly problem: treatments that look promising in early studies often fail when tested in people. Animal models and flat cell cultures have advanced science, but they cannot fully capture the complexity of the human heart. That translation gap slows the search for safer drugs and better therapies …
For Kraft Heinz and Michigan State University’s School of Packaging, the partnership begins with a shared question: how can packaging better protect food, reduce environmental impact, improve the consumer experience, and prepare the next generation of packaging leaders? Together, Kraft Heinz and MSU are tackling some of the industry’s most pressing challenges, from developing more …
