The Team from Michigan State is coming back to Playa del Carmen! Dr. Peter LaPine and a group of graduate students will return to work with Angel Notion for the 21st project together. See http://www.comdis.msu.edu/ for some additional information.




































The group will arrive from the chilly temperatures of Michigan on November 7, 2007. The goals for this project are to identify a pool of persons with cleft lip and/or cleft palate, or significant craniofacial anomalies, that can be seen by future teams. One specific goal is to establish an internet connection via real-time video links between the clinic in Nic te Ha and the main campus of Michigan State University (http://www.msu.edu/). Another goal of the November visit is to continue to develop and secure the research opportunities in the Yucatan that were begun in the Playa/MSU Summit in May 2007.
