Welcome

The Kavli Institute for Bionano Science & Technology (KIBST) at Harvard University seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the functioning of life and biology at the nanoscale level.

Mission & Goals

The Kavli Institute for Bionano Science & Technology (KIBST) at Harvard...

  • brings together a wide range of scientists, including physicists, engineers, chemists, biologists as well as HMS clinicians to address fundamental questions about the behavior and functioning of biological systems;

  • allows biologists, engineers, and clinicians to potentially use such knowledge to foster applications and new technologies; and

  • provides a way for the tool-developers (physicists, engineers, computer scientists) to work with the tool-users (biologists, chemists, clinicians) in the early stages of scientific inquiry and encourage scientific collaboration at the innovation stage of tool development.

The most tangible outcomes of the KIBST will be the future discoveries, applications, and technologies that such foundational research enables.

The greatest functional benefits are likely to come in the form of enhanced collaborations among faculty across the campus.

While Harvard faculty and students already pursue multidisciplinary work, even in the virtual age, it takes dedicated yet flexible resources to bring people together and to break down traditional barriers.
