Our mission is to promote and enhance biomedical and biological research, including the proper care and use of animals, for the improved health and well-being of people, animals, and the environment. In furtherance of this mission, the goal of the MSMR is to foster a better understanding of biomedicine by improving basic literacy in and enthusiasm for the biological sciences among the public, the media, and future generations. Although we are a member organization, and membership services are of utmost importance, a great part of our work is directed to the public in general.
Education is necessarily a major component in the pursuit of our mission.
We each students. We train teachers. We develop curricula that increase science literacy and promote understanding of the importance of research to our lives.
