Michael Levin, Ph.D., Vannevar Professor of Biology; Director, Tufts Center for Regenerative & Developmental Biology
Dr. Levin’s pioneering work in regenerative biology has introduced an unexpected leap in medical research. The discovery of the crucial role of ion currents in cells in storing the information necessary to pattern a 3-dimensional complex organism suggests that it may well be possible to exploit this factor to regenerate organs, limbs, and tissues in humans.
