Professors who do
When Wayne State students look to the front of the classroom, they see stars.
At this nationally ranked research university, outstanding faculty members
continuously contribute to the creation of new knowledge. Their breakthroughs
not only affect people's lives — they save them.
Take Karli Rosner, M.D., for example. As director of research in the School
of Medicine's Department of Dermatology, he and his team developed a
treatment that fools cancer cells into destroying themselves. And then there's
Bengt Arnetz, M.D., Ph.D. He's leading research focused on Iraqi refugees in
metropolitan Detroit who were exposed to war — people whose attempts to
move forward are being held back by memories of the past.
Dr. Rosner and Dr. Arnetz are among the many instructors who reach beyond the
books, into the future. Groundbreaking research that occurs on our campus in
Midtown Detroit resonates worldwide, making us healthier, keeping us safer and
sustaining our communities.
