Bioengineering Initiative

  • The New Frontier

    PBI researchers are developing the tools and technologies that will enable scientists to interface with living matter at every scale.

  • Life's Organizing Principles

    Our core approach combines fundamental inquiry with novel technologies in a powerful positive-feedback cycle at the interface of biological structure and information.

  • A Culture of Innovation

    Where we tear down, rebuild and hybridize concepts. Where a diversity of identities promotes a diversity of thought, and the crosstalk spurs the action.

A View of the Future

A century from now, scientists looking back will see how little we knew in this moment. Our mission at PBI is to push that knowledge forward, to transform the life sciences through quantitative reasoning and to develop the bioengineered technologies that will revolutionize the future.
