Over the past decade, research on the development of multi-cellular engineered living systems has produced technologies and capabilities that are now positioned to facilitate a fundamental understanding of disease processes and can help to identify innovative therapeutic strategies. Globally, while many labs are engaged in the development of new and more sophisticated organ models for drug discovery and screening, there is an urgent need to disrupt the way drugs are currently developed. Our vision is to humanize drug development based on a new approach that integrates microphysiological system models of disease and enhanced model control/interrogation, with modern systems biology and systems immunology. This is the focus of Living Machines, one of five threads in the New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) program to reimagine engineering education at MIT in which sophomores, juniors and seniors, under the guidance of faculty mentors and instructors, learn, discover, build and engineer living systems for broad applications in biotechnology and medical devices. This webinar will share the perspectives of 3 MIT faculty, their research capabilities and interests in which NEET students can participate, and that of several NEET students and what they can or hope to achieve.
The Certificate Program delivered in collaboration with the MIT Center for Real Estate will help you overcome roadblocks, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and excel in the ever-evolving world of global real estate.Â
The construction and operation of buildings account for more than 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, dramatically reducing emissions from new and existing buildings globally is central to any emissions mitigation strategy. As the eighth session of the Energy Innovation series, this webinar features four leading MIT researchers to discuss a variety of pragmatic and more visionary options.Â
This is the second in our spring webinar series hosted by MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program and the MIT Energy Initiative, a continuation of the Energy Innovation webinar series. The series engages leading researchers from across MIT and industry executives on energy transition topics including low-carbon fuels, decarbonization of buildings, and more. Industrial collaboration has long been a hallmark of MIT’s approach to problem solving. Please join us to hear what we are doing together with our industrial partners to address climate change challenges.
