Faculty

Our program is connected to the MCB department's world-renowned faculty, who lead labs performing cutting-edge research covering a wide range of modern fields. The broader MCB department is subdivided into more focused divisions that encourage community and collaboration between labs. Faculty often are affiliated with multiple divisions within MCB and maintain connections with other departments on campus.
