             Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse… It does. U Mich going beyond being forced into this to fully celebrating it. 
           Today the University of Michigan is ending implementation of DEI. We are eliminating programs, eliminating affiliated staff and ending the DEI 2.0 strategy. Late last year we ended the use of diversity statements in faculty hiring. This is now expanded university wide and

             Our Center recently celebrated its 600th patient treated with CAR T-cell immunotherapy, a groundbreaking “living drug” that utilizes the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. Pioneered at CHOP and @PennMedicine, CAR T has transformed cancer treatment worldwide.
