The MIT Department of Biology is home to approximately 180 undergraduates, 200 graduate students, 200 postdoctoral researchers, and more than 60 world-renowned faculty. Our research focuses on 10 major research areas: Biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology; cancer biology; cell biology; computational biology; genetics; human disease; immunology; microbiology; neurobiology; and stem cell and developmental biology.

We promote 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 in Kendall Square — creates exciting opportunities for research, employment, and the commercialization of new discoveries.
