The Michigan Medicine Arterial Dysplasia Program and Precision Health Network brings together partners from across Michigan Medicine to advance our understanding of dysplasia-associated arterial diseases (arterial fibromuscular dysplasia, midaortic syndrome, dissections, and aneurysms) and to translate genetic and molecular discoveries into clinical practice.
Nearly 30 faculty across Michigan Medicine from 14 Departments and centers participate in our Precision Health Network.
