À propos de cet audio

Welcome to The Fundamentals, a podcast where we explore biomedical research here at Michigan Medicine–and meet the scientists behind it. Research is fundamental to the University of Michigan’s mission to improve the world.


From basic science, which aims to answer fundamental questions about how life works and how disease takes hold, to translational research, which seeks to find ways to apply discoveries in the lab or the field to treat or prevent illness, to clinical research that tests potential life-changing interventions in people and looks for the best ways to deliver care for the benefit of all.


In The Fundamentals, we'll meet the people behind the research, learn more about their fields and the fundamental questions they are trying to answer – from how do we help relieve pain and stop the opioid epidemic, to how do we use data to personalize healthcare – and discover why the University of Michigan Medical School is such an amazing place for research.

  • Researching Psychedelics for Potential Therapeutic Use

    Researching Psychedelics for Potential Therapeutic Use
    Apr 3 2025

    Recently, interest in psychedelic research has seen a resurgence, strengthened by better designed and controlled clinical trials and the use of neuroimaging, examining psychedelics' potential therapeutic use for PTSD, addiction, anxiety, and depression. On today’s episode, we talk with Dr. George Mashour, professor of anesthesiology and pharmacology and founder of the Michigan Psychedelic Center about using rigorous scientific methods to unlock the mysteries of psychedelics and investigate their potential as therapeutics.

  • Using A.I. and Bioinformatics to Reveal Hidden Networks of the Brain

    Using A.I. and Bioinformatics to Reveal Hidden Networks of the Brain
    Mar 20 2025

    There are an estimated 86 billion neurons in the human brain. Neuroscientists are actively exploring the importance of single or small groups of neurons versus networks of billions of neurons in the processing of sensory information, storage of memories, generation of movement, and everything else the brain does. Until recently, it simply wasn't possible to study billions of neurons at once. In today's episode, we talk with U-M's Dr. Anne Draelos, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and assistant professor of computational medicine and bioinformatics, who is using A.I. and bioinformatics to reveal the hidden networks of the brain, and exploring how gaining this understanding could improve lives.
