- Focus Areas
- 3D Organ EngineeringHighly functional, multiscale, vascularized organ replacements that can be seamlessly integrated into the body.
- Bioinspired Therapeutics & DiagnosticsTherapeutic discovery and diagnostics development enabled by microsystems engineering, molecular engineering, computational design, and organ-on-a-chip in vitro human experimentation technology.
- Diagnostics AcceleratorAn initiative enabling the creation of new diagnostic technologies that solve high-value clinical problems through deep collaboration between the Wyss Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Candidate diagnostics will be driven by clinicians’ unmet needs, advanced in the Wyss Institute’s biomarker discovery and technology development labs, and validated in BWH’s CLIA lab, providing crucial clinical data to move them from the bench to the bedside faster.
- Immuno-MaterialsMaterial-based systems capable of modulating immune cells ex vivo and in the human body to treat or diagnose disease.
- Living Cellular DevicesRe-engineered living cells and biological circuits as programmable devices for medicine, manufacturing, and sustainability.
- Molecular RoboticsSelf-assembling nucleic acid molecules that can be programmed like robots to carry out specific tasks at the nanoscale without requiring power.
- Predictive BioAnalyticsComputational approaches that apply the power of machine learning, neural networks, and other algorithmic architectures to complex problems in biology, generating faster, better insights and driving innovation.
- Synthetic BiologyBreakthrough approaches to reading, writing, and editing nucleic acids and proteins for multiple applications, varying from healthcare to data storage.

Audio/PodcastPreventing the Next Pandemic with Organ ChipsIn search for strategies to curb pandemics, scientists strive to understand how pathogens slip past the immune system and wreak havoc on the body. To achieve this goal, researchers study viral infection in models that mimic how different cell types interact with each other, the immune system, or the environment. Organ-on-a-chip models combine tissue engineering... -
