North Campus Research Complex
In 2009, the University of Michigan acquired the 174-acre (0.70 km2) former Pfizer facility with 28-buildings and created the North Campus Research Complex. The complex was adjacent to the North Campus and occupied land that the University sold to pharmaceutical manufacturer Parke-Davis in 1957. In 1970, Warner-Lambert acquired Parke-Davis and in 2000, it was purchased by Pfizer.
Though located off-campus, SWOG (formerly the Southwest Oncology Group) is considered part of the Research Campus. SWOG is a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-supported organization that conducts clinical trials in adult cancer treatments and preventatives.
