Microbial Sciences Initiative (MSI)

The Microbial Sciences Initiative is an intellectual epicenter of microbiology.

MSI was founded on the belief that research flourishes where communication and collaboration are maximized. MSI is a cross-campus entity uniting more than 100 research laboratories at Harvard University and nucleating microbe-based innovation across New England.
