Dr. Michael Levin - Tufts University - Reading and Writing the Bio-Electric Morphogenetic Code

Published on Feb 4, 2021

Dr. Michael Levin is a Tufts University professor who holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair in the Biology department, and who serves as both the Director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology and Director, Allen Discovery Center at Tufts.

Dr. Levin’s group's focus is on understanding the bio-physical mechanisms that implement decision-making during complex pattern regulation, and harnessing endogenous bio-electric dynamics toward rational control of growth and form.

The lab's current main directions are:

• Understanding how somatic cells form bio-electrical networks for storing and recalling pattern memories that guide morphogenesis;

• Creating next-generation AI tools for helping scientists understand top-down control of pattern regulation (a new bioinformatics of shape);

and

• Using these insights to enable new capabilities in regenerative medicine and engineering.

Dr. Levin he got dual B.S. degrees, in Computer Science and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began to uncover a new bio-electric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory (2000-2007 at Forsyth Institute, Harvard; 2008-present at Tufts University) develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.

Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award.

Hmmm, I wonder why the DNC is focused on these states? Could it be, oh I don't know....Panic?

NAMEGOESHERE-- have you ever heard of a nested opportunity? At DNC Headquarters, we use that term to refer to states where Democrats have a chance to not just win at the top of the ticket, but down the ballot, too. We have a lot of them heading into 2022, and here are just a few. Take a look:

US MAP GOES HERE

Nested opportunities can be a force multiplier for our investments -- because by investing early in just one state, we have the power to lift Democrats to victory in multiple races. In my eyes, they’re also a great way for Democrats to build on our majorities next year. But the extent to which we can invest early and often in states with nested opportunities largely depends on the support of grassroots supporters like you, NAMEGOESHERE.

So NAMEGOESHERE , will you rush $25 to take advantage of these nested opportunities and elect Democrats nationwide in the years to come?

We made major gains in the 2020 election cycle -- largely because of the unprecedented voter turnout we saw nationwide. Now, we’re working to keep up that momentum and expand our Democratic map in the upcoming midterms.

We’re relying on your support early on, NAMEGOESHERE, so we know just how much we can invest in these key states likeArizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin,just to name a few and where we can push the envelope in other states. Because if we invest early enough, Democrats can win anywhere.

If you can, please make a $25 donation to the DNC to help elect Democrats in all 50 states and territories in the years to come. NAMEGOESHERE, I promise you that anything you can give today will be a huge help in electing Democrats in 2021, 2022, and beyond.

More soon,

P.S. A $25 donation today will go much farther than one given in the immediate lead up to an election. Make a $25 donation today to help the DNC expand the Democratic map nationwide in the years to come.
