menu MDI Biological Laboratory will continue to relentlessly pursue answers to many of our most pressing and complex biological problems. And, as we have done for over 100 years, we will continue to provide a place for leading scientists to carve out time for reflection, collaborate with colleagues, make new connections, vet ideas or learn new techniques. Hermann Haller, Ph.D. President, MDI Biological Laboratory About MDI Biological Laboratory We seek to improve human health by discovering novel mechanisms of tissue repair, aging and regeneration. We translate our discoveries for the benefit of medicine and society and are dedicated to developing the next generation of scientific leaders through hands-on training. We utilize the most advanced scientific technology, computational techniques and comparative model systems to learn how to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration and delay the onset of age-related diseases. A Formula That Works MDI Biological Laboratory was established with the belief that removing obstacles to biomedical discovery and development leads to faster, bolder discoveries and solutions. The Institution’s expert, interdisciplinary faculty utilizes multiple genetically tractable model organisms and diverse cell systems to define mechanisms of tissue repair and regeneration and characterize changes that occur in cells and tissues with disease and aging. This approach speeds the discovery process, greatly reduces research costs, and provides opportunities for identification of new drugs for improving human health. The Laboratory is also a world-class science education institution where out-of-the-box thinking, entrepreneurship, and partnership-building are encouraged. The Institution’s goals are to make better doctors, inspire scientists, develop a 21st-century science and technology workforce, and bring diverse stakeholders together to collaborate on solving human health and environmental sustainability problems.
