Michael Levin is a pioneering biologist whose work is reshaping our understanding of life, intelligence, and the very fabric of biological form. As Professor of Biology and Director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, Levin investigates how cells communicate and cooperate through bioelectrical signals to build and repair complex bodies. 

His research on regeneration, morphogenesis, and synthetic living systems, including the creation of programmable “xenobots”, blurs the boundaries between biology, computation, and cognition. In exploring how intelligence might emerge from collective cellular decision-making, Levin invites us to reconsider what it means to be alive, conscious, and in control of our own evolution.
