MIT is creating the Health and Life Sciences Collaborative to drive high-impact solutions through interdisciplinary projects spanning engineering, science, AI, economics, business, policy, design, and the humanities. The collaborative will also strengthen partnerships between MIT, hospitals, and industry to fund research, share data, connect investors, and advance commercialization.

On Wednesday, December 4, 2024, all of MIT will gather to launch this exciting initiative, celebrating the rich history and promising future of health and life sciences research. There will be faculty presentations on breakthrough cross-disciplinary life science research, a CEO-level panel discussion on the future of university-industry-hospital collaborations, a showcase of student research, plenty of opportunities for networking across MIT and beyond—and so much more.

The launch will offer a full day of remarkable speakers and panelists, including a keynote from Institute Professor Emeritus Phillip Sharp, whose Nobel Prize-winning work has set a standard for MIT’s leadership in life sciences.
