Marine Biological Laboratory

Overview

The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is a private, nonprofit research institution located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Founded in 1888, MBL focuses on advancing biological and environmental sciences through collaborative research and education. It has a rich history in marine biology and experimental biology, originally stemming from the U.S. Fish Commission's research station.

MBL offers intensive summer courses in biological sciences, attracting students and researchers from around the world. Its educational programs include courses in Invertebrate Zoology, Embryology, Physiology, and microscopy techniques. The institution also supports year-round research through its Whitman Center, which hosts over 100 principal investigators conducting innovative biological research. MBL provides state-of-the-art laboratories and marine resources, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists. Additionally, it publishes The Biological Bulletin, a peer-reviewed journal that contributes to the scientific community. MBL serves as a hub for scientific innovation and education, engaging a diverse international community of biologists, ecologists, geneticists, and neuroscientists.
