Most of our Cell & Developmental Biology labs are in BSRB—an inspiring, collaborative space with top technology, clinical partners, and world-class researchers. It’s an ideal environment for innovative research and exceptional scientific training. #michmed175 #CDBHistory

BioMed Focus is an 8 week summer program for Ypsilanti & Belleville high schoolers, with hands-on research in U-M Med School labs!. Co-founded and co-directed by CDB Ph.D. student Sarah Steiner since 2023. This year CDB mentors included the Bazzi, @kjverhey1, and Allen Labs.

Congratulations to @kjverhey1, @R_Ohi_Lab, and Phyllis Hanson for being named 2025 ASCB Fellows! . This prestigious honor recognizes their significant contributions to research and service within the cell biology community. #ASCBFellows #CellBio #UMICHResearch #BoldScience

Congratulations to Whitney Reid!. Whitney (@LabTsai) was awarded the prestigious 2025 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Gilliam Fellowship. #HHMI #GilliamFellow #STEM #UMichResearch

Our roots began in the Medical Building. The next chapter took us to the Anatomical Laboratory. In 1926, moving to East Medical gave our department more space, modern labs, and closer ties to clinical faculty—fueling new breakthroughs in research. #michmed175 #CDBHistory

Kristen Verhey, Ph.D., has been awarded the 2025 Sandra K. Masur Senior Leadership Award by the American Society for Cell Biology—an honor recognizing outstanding leadership in the field. Congratulations to @kjverhey1 on this well-deserved recognition!. #CellBiology #STEM

Neurons Can Fly, led by the U-M @DawenCai Lab, gave high schoolers a rare deep dive into hands-on neuroscience research. One student remarked, “It opened my eyes to research and highlighted the impact of neuroscience in a way that was both engaging and inspiring.”. #STEM
