معرفی
Michael Levin is a Vannevar Bush Professor and Distinguished Professor at Tufts University, affiliated with the School of Arts and Sciences (Department of Biology) and School of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering). His research focuses on bioelectricity, developmental biology, and collective intelligence. He leads the Allen Discovery Center and the Tufts Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology.
Education: PhD in Genetics from Harvard Medical School (1996); BS in Computer Science and Biology from Tufts University (1992).
Research Interests: Integrates developmental biology, computer science, and cognitive science to study morphogenesis, regeneration, and cancer. Explores bioelectric signaling, synthetic organisms, and AI-driven discovery. Key areas include regenerative medicine, cancer reprogramming, and collective intelligence in biological systems.
Publications: Over 600 articles, with recent work on xenobots, neuroevolution, and bioelectric therapies. Themes include bioelectric control of form, AI in biology, and collective intelligence.
Awards: INNS Donald O. Hebb Award, AAAS Fellow, and Vox Future Perfect 50 List recognition. Frequently invited to speak at conferences on biology, AI, and consciousness.
Advising & Labs: Mentored numerous postdocs and students, including pioneers in bioelectricity and synthetic biology. Lab focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to biological pattern formation and regeneration.
