The three universities that make up Michigan’s University Research Corridor (URC) ― Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University ― continue to lead the nation’s university innovation clusters in the number of medicine and biological science degrees awarded annually.
Those are just some of the findings in the annual Benchmark Report through which the URC measures its performance against the nation’s top university research clusters, including California’s Silicon Valley, Massachusetts’ Route 128 and North Carolina’s Research Triangle. Michigan’s URC is the only national innovation cluster comprised exclusively of public universities ― and the only one with three medical doctors heading those institutions.
