The Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) at Michigan State University is a supportive, professional resource for all university investigators.  Through collaborative efforts with investigators and clinicians, we each strive to catalyze and fuel the scientific process by providing interdisciplinary expertise and understanding to research teams. As a team, we leverage our collective experience to support scientific discovery and help overcome challenges and stumbling blocks. As a unit, CTSI endeavors to help advance and translate state-of-the-art science, arising from basic and clinical research, to practical use, providing tangible benefits to MSU, Michigan and the world.
