Bioengineering
Encompassing the majority of departments and divisions within the MIT School of Engineering, and in conjunction with the MIT School of Science, the bioengineering initiative seeks to advance our knowledge and capabilities across a broad array of areas. Collaboration with the Broad Institute, the Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI), the Center for Cancer Research, the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology (CIMIT), the Computational and Systems Biology Initiative (CSBi), the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST), and others also plays a key role.
Education and research programs within the initiative include projects in bio-instruments and bio-materials, computational and systems biology, drug discovery, new strategies in cancer therapy, and many more. By bringing engineering science and practice together with the life sciences, we not only make quantum leaps in our understanding of those sciences, we also develop new technologies for health care, the environment, advanced materials, and many other applications.
Learn more about the scope of the bioengineering initiative, or read an article from the School of Engineering’s e-newsletter, Engineering Our World.
More information about the initiative’s research programs and projects is available through the School’s departments, labs, and centers. You can also view a video highlighting an exciting example of research in bioengineering.
Opportunities to support or collaborate with the School of Engineering’s bioengineering initiative are described here. You might also consider directing your gift to one of these important funds:
You may wish to search or browse for other specific giving opportunities within the School of Engineering or its departments, or make a gift now to any of the School’s initiatives using our secure online giving form.
Or, if you wish to speak to someone about a special gift in support of the School of Engineering, please contact Deborah J. Cohen, senior director of development and communications, at deco@mit.edu or 617.253.2222.
