Biology

Channel | updated February 28, 2013

MIT biologists are deeply engaged in both fundamental research and its applications. The department promotes a highly collaborative environment that allows for a free exchange of ideas across research areas and academic disciplines. The result is a rigorous, creative, dynamic culture in which scientists and students tackle the important problems and questions in biology and related fields. Our location at the heart of one of the world’s most important biotech/pharma hubs creates exciting opportunities for research, employment, and the commercialization of new discoveries.
