MIT Life Sciences and Health Collaborative

Principal Investigators Nergis Mavalvala , Phillip Sharp

Project Start Date December 2024


MIT is creating the Life Sciences and Health Collaborative to drive high-impact solutions through interdisciplinary projects spanning engineering, science, AI, economics, business, policy, design, and the humanities. The collaborative will also strengthen partnerships between MIT, hospitals, and industry to fund research, share data, connect investors, and advance commercialization.

On December 4, 2024, all of MIT will gather to launch this exciting initiative, celebrating the rich history and promising future of life sciences and health research. There will be faculty presentations on breakthrough cross-disciplinary life science research, a CEO-level panel discussion on the future of university-industry-hospital collaborations, a showcase of student research, plenty of opportunities for networking across MIT and beyond—and so much more.
