Henry Ford Health System and Wayne State University announced last week they have signed a letter of intent to expand their medical education and research relationships. Over the next 90 days, officials will negotiate a formal agreement that could eventually lead to construction of a jointly owned biomedical research facility. Wayne State President Jay Noren said the university’s top capital priority is to build a $180 million research facility in the next several years. “We would phase it in over time, given the state of the economy,” Noren said. “By doing this together, we can reach our mutual objectives and use it to increase federal research dollars that are highly competitive.” Valerie Parisi, dean of Wayne State’s medical school, also comments.
