Abstract
The Gran Telescopio Milimétrico (GTM) is a new facility for the Mexican, U.S., and international astronomical communities to investigate the millimeter universe. The aperture size and science instrumentation offer unprecedented capabilities to study the star formation process in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. In this review, I will describe these capabilities and how these can address some of the most fundamental questions associated with the production of newborn stars from the magneto-turbulent interstellar medium.
