Basic Science Leads the Way to Discovery and Knowledge

ǧ����Ƶ (MBL) is a leader in advancing groundbreaking scientific discovery. The ǧ����Ƶ is the catalyst for fundamental breakthroughs that improve our understanding of life and the environment. These breakthroughs have a positive impact on the human condition and our ability to understand climate change. 

The ǧ����Ƶ is the original think tank, the national laboratory for biology, and a crossroads for the life sciences. Our brand of pedagogy – learning by doing – is so powerful because it brings together the best scientific minds in a creative atmosphere. 

Your support is an essential part of what makes the ǧ����Ƶ unique, building and sustaining world-renowned research and education programs.
