The Brown-MBL Graduate Program in Biological and Environmental Sciences unites the MBL’s and Brown University’s combined research and education expertise in biology, environmental sciences and medical research and offers talented graduate students the chance to work collaboratively on interdisciplinary projects with scientists at both institutions. There are currently 10 students enrolled in the joint program, with five in residence at the MBL. Twenty MBL scientists currently hold joint faculty appointments at Brown, while four Brown faculty members have MBL appointments.
The MBL is a leading international, independent, nonprofit institution dedicated to discovery and to improving the human condition through creative research and education in the biological, biomedical and environmental sciences. Founded in 1888 as the Marine Biological Laboratory, the MBL is the oldest private marine laboratory in the Americas.
The mission of Brown University is to serve the community, the nation, and the world by discovering, communicating, and preserving knowledge and understanding in a spirit of free inquiry, and by educating and preparing students to discharge the offices of life with usefulness and reputation. We do this through a partnership of students and teachers in a unified community known as a university-college.
