�ֲ���ý

The �ֲ���ý draws a unique mix of researchers ranging from early-career scientists to Nobel Laureates, and students at levels from high school to postdoctoral. Their interactions have led to multiple, transformative breakthroughs in our understanding of biology.

Once largely a feature of summers at the �ֲ���ý, this convening power is now evident year-round. Well over 500 scientists and faculty are involved annually in our research and educational programs – some based at �ֲ���ý full-time in our Division of Research, some coming to the �ֲ���ý for portions of the year as part of the Whitman Center, and some leading or lecturing in our broad range of research courses.

Research and education at the �ֲ���ý focuses on fundamental biological discovery to explore the origins, diversity, and nature of life on a changing planet and to inform the human condition.
