Welcome to the Michigan State University Twin Registry (MSUTR)!

The Michigan State University Twin Registry (MSUTR) is made up of thousands of twins and their families from throughout the state of Michigan who have shown an interest in our research and typically have participated in one or more of our twin studies.  Many twins from outside of Michigan are enrolled in our registry as well.  The invaluable contributions from the twins and their families have helped lead to discoveries that have the potential to inform treatment and prevention efforts for a range of conditions that carry significant consequences for individual and public health.  To learn more about the MSUTR, including our studies, our staff, and how to get involved, please explore our website and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Twin Night with the Detroit Pistons!

We partnered with the Detroit Pistons once again for the Third Annual Twin Night on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025 at the Little Caesars Arena.

The Twin Night celebrated both Ausar Thompson from the Detroit Pistons and Kris Murray from the Portland Trail Blazers, both who have twins playing in the NBA.

We are so appreciative of everyone who joined us for this special event! The turnout was incredible yet again.

Over 500 twins and their families attended the event! We loved getting to meet so many twins and their families!

You can check out more game day videos and photos below!

Throwback to Twin Day 2024! Check out this fun video where we asked our twins if they would prefer to play on the same team as their twin or if they’d rather play against their twin!
