As one of the nation’s top research universities, MSU prides itself on making breakthrough discoveries and finding practical solutions that improve people’s lives, from the cancer-fighting drugs cisplatin and carboplatin to key ingredients in Tamiflu. By expanding research funding and providing more opportunities for graduate and undergraduate student involvement, the possibilities for research are endless—and so is our vision.

The Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building at MSU brings scientific collaboration to new levels with increased opportunities for research and teaching that cross departmental and college boundaries.
The building’s occupants include the departments of Physics and Astronomy, Physiology, and Microbiology. It also houses faculty affiliated with such units as the Center for Microbial Ecology, the Center for Fundamental Materials Research, and the Chronic Disease Initiative.
State-of-the-art technology, modern laboratories, libraries and classrooms open new doors for science and research.
The more than 200,000-square-foot facility is the heart of the university's science enterprise, a complex that includes the Chemistry and Biochemistry buildings, the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, the Plant Biology Building, and the National Center for Food Safety and Toxicology.
