Dr. Michael Levin (@drmichaellevin) is the
Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts
University and director of the Allen Discovery Center. He is
primarily interested in how intelligence self-organizes in a
diverse range of natural, engineered, and hybrid embodiments.
Applied to the collective intelligence of cell groups undergoing
morphogenesis, these ideas have allowed the Levin Lab to develop
new applications in birth defects, organ regeneration, and cancer
suppression.
