Benefits of the new Biomed and Physical Science Building at MSU

		PORTFOLIO FOR THE FUTURE Your support of the construction of the Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building invests in MSU's Portfolio of Promise for future generations. The individual investigator, group and multidisciplinary research conducted in the building will provide unlimited benefits for our personal and professional lives, including:
		Basic Research Area: Study of cell growth, differentiation, and communication Benefit: Treatment or elimination of chronic disease such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune and cardiovascular disease		Basic Research Area: Study of the structure and function of cell proteins Benefit: Creation of new drugs and other products
		Basic Research Area: Study of genetics and diversity of microbes and their functions Benefit: Enhancement of environmental quality, elimination of environmental contamination, and monitoring of global change		Basic Research Area: Study of disease agents at the molecular level Benefit: Provision of safe food and water supplies and elimination of drug-resistant disease agents (pathogens)
		Basic Research Area: Study of the fundamental physical properties of solids and liquids Benefit: Characterization of unusual processes and materials and the discovery of new materials		Basic Research Area: Study of plant biochemistry, transgenic plants, and response of plants to environmental changes Benefit: Improvement of plants and products, increase in agricultural productivity, and development of sustainable agriculture
		Basic Research Area: Study of genes and their functions in cells, organ systems, and populations Benefit: Elimination of genetic diseases		Basic Research Area: Study of the substructure and interactions of elementary particles and nuclei Benefit: Understanding the laws that govern the universe and development of the technical tools required to perform the experiments
