Catalyzing translational research efforts by supporting preclinical and commercial clinical development |
|
Innovation Partnerships at the University of Michigan manages Great Lakes Discovery, a ten-year collaboration with Deerfield Management Company, L.P to fund U-M drug discovery from early-stage research to clinical development.
-
Deerfield has committed up to $130 million over the next decade to invest in biomedical research at U-M with the aim of developing potentially life-saving drugs and disease treatments.
-
Projects selected by Great Lakes Discovery will be provided funding and operational support through a development plan aimed at achieving Investigational New Drug (IND) readiness.
GET STARTED WITH A CONSULTATION There is no open Request for Proposal (RFP) - the first step for an interested researcher is to schedule a consultation with the program’s Scientific Collaboration Manager Dr. Seohee You (shyou@umich.edu).

Joint dimension reduction and clustering analysis of single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics data, W. Liu, X. Liao, Y. Yang, H. Lin, J. Yeong, X. Zhou, X. Shi, J. Liu (2022) Nucleic Acids Research . 10.1093/nar/gkac219
DR-SC outperforms existing clustering and spatial clustering methods: it extracts more biologically relevant features than conventional dimension reduction methods, improves clustering performance, and offers improved trajectory inference and visualization for downstream trajectory inference analyses.
