Michael Levin is Distinguished Vannever Bush Professor in the biology department at Tufts University and Associate Faculty at Harvard's Wyss Institute. He serves as founding director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts, and co-director of the Institute for Computer Designed Organisms. He received dual bachelors' degrees in Computer Science and Biology, and a Ph.D. in genetics from Harvard University, followed by post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Levin's laboratory integrates biology, computer science, and cognitive science toward an understanding of intelligence in a wide range of evolved, engineered, and hybrid systems. They created the first molecular tools to read and write bioelectric pattern memories in non-neural tissue and exploit this bioelectric interface to communicate to the collective intelligence of cells in embryogenesis, repair, and cancer. Applications of the work range across regenerative medicine, bioengineering, AI, and cognitive science, and has specific implications for novel approaches in aging and longevity. Dr. Levin has ~430 peer-reviewed publications across disciplines including computer science, philosophy of mind, biophysics, and evolutionary biology.
