Michigan and You - Partnering to Advance Research Together (MY PART)

The MY PART (Michigan and You - Partnering to Advance Research Together) study aims to enroll individuals who reflect the diversity of the United States across various dimensions such as health status, age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and geography. The goal is to build a robust biobank that supports a wide range of research areas, including chronic diseases, mental health, and personalized medicine.  By fostering a deeper understanding of health and disease, the study seeks to accelerate scientific discoveries and ultimately enhance health outcomes for all. This initiative underscores the importance of community involvement and interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing medical research.
