Welcome to The Fundamentals, a podcast where we explore biomedical research here at Michigan Medicine–and meet the scientists behind it. Research is fundamental to the University of Michigan’s mission to improve the world.
From basic science, which aims to answer fundamental questions about how life works and how disease takes hold, to translational research, which seeks to find ways to apply discoveries in the lab or the field to treat or prevent illness, to clinical research that tests potential life-changing interventions in people and looks for the best ways to deliver care for the benefit of all.
In The Fundamentals, we'll meet the people behind the research, learn more about their fields and the fundamental questions they are trying to answer – from how do we help relieve pain and stop the opioid epidemic, to how do we use data to personalize healthcare – and discover why the University of Michigan Medical School is such an amazing place for research.
The Fundamentals is a part of the Michigan Medicine Podcast Network, and is produced by the Michigan Medicine Department of Communication. You can subscribe to The Fundamentals on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

A recent University of Michigan study found that around 20% of cervical cancer cases and cervical cancer-related deaths could be avoided if every eligible person was screened. U-M researcher, Dr. Diane Harper is hoping to lower the barriers to cervical cancer screening by making it more convenient and less expensive. How? By empowering patients with the tools and knowledge needed to collect their own samples at home for testing. This approach has the potential to greatly increase the number of people who are screened overall, and would be transformative in advancing health equity and accessibility for cervical cancer screening.
