SRI International is a nonprofit, independent research and innovation center providing government and industry with basic and applied research, laboratory and advisory services, technology development and licenses, deployable systems, products, and venture opportunities.

SRI bridges the critical gap between research universities or national laboratories and industry. We move R&D from the laboratory to the marketplace to create high value and real innovation. Our innovations have led to new industries and products that impact people’s lives every day—from the computer mouse and interactive computing to medical ultrasound, cancer drugs, and much more.

SRI works on some of the world’s most important problems, collaborating across technical disciplines to spark new ideas and solutions. We believe in open innovation, bringing the best talent to the challenge at hand.
SRI’s Ann Arbor, Michigan, office is an element of the Engineering R&D Division, with research interests in remote sensing and telecommunications.

SRI’s Phase 1 Clinical Trial and Strategic Development Services unit in Plymouth, Michigan, will be operational in mid-2014. This state-of-the-art facility will provide biotech companies, university investigators, and start-ups clients with an agile, top-tier development organization with the capacity to carry programs from concept to clinic and beyond.

Since 1852, Miller Canfield’s collaborative approach, deep resources and network of local, regional and worldwide relationships have helped our lawyers get work done quickly, efficiently and successfully for our clients. We engage the best people, best practices and deliver the best possible results. We know our clients’ businesses, organizations and industries and look out for their best interests.

And making things happen, from 101 N. Main Street to Wall Street, from Ann Arbor to Australia, are the attorneys at Miller Canfield.

We’ve helped build hospitals, hospitality, convention and sports venues. We’ve helped clients reinvest in city centers, retail centers and build student, low and moderate income housing.
We help clients with public finance, private lending, tech transfer, venture capital and charitable giving. We help build bridges and protect both intellectual property and property owners.
We help employers with immigration and refugees with citizenship. We handle litigation, class actions and appeals, and M&A in the U.S.A. and worldwide.

And in A2Y, at the U and in the D – we support our communities with time, talent and resources.

Ann Arbor native, Adrianne Madias is the owner of Barre Bee Fit, a fitness studio for women blending the ballet barre with elements of yoga, pilates, dance and resistance props to create maximum results by combining cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and restoration through its variety of class formats. After graduating from Arizona State University with a BS in Supply Chain Management, she moved back to the area and worked in the corporate world for nearly a decade for companies such as Pfizer, Terumo Cardiovascular and Valassis Communications. She decided to change her career path because her true passion is fitness, and enjoys contributing to other women’s lives by helping them feel stronger and more confident about their health and self-image so they can meet and exceed their goals both physically as well as within their own personal lives. She began training in Chicago in 2011 to become the Master Trainer and Instructor for Ann Arbor and opened in August of that year. In 2012, she expanded the studio to incorporate a hot room, where classes are held in a 100 degree environment and just recently in January of 2014, she opened her second studio on the north side of Ann Arbor on Plymouth Rd and Huron Pkwy.
