Wayne State University School of Medicine and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute on Friday announced they will work to expand their long-term partnership agreement in cancer research, education and clinical care. Under the agreement, which expands a 1994 pact, Wayne State’s medical school will create a new department for university scientists whose primary appointments are at Karmanos. Dr. Valerie Parisi, Wayne State’s medical school interim dean, said the partnership “demonstrates the principles of a true academic partnership.”
