Michael Levin

Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology

Michael Levin runs the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts, where his group studies how non-neural cells communicate, remember, and problem-solve. His work on bioelectric pattern formation has rewritten what 'cognition' can apply to — and introduced the world to xenobots, self-assembled living machines made from frog cells.
