Big discoveries begin on a collaborative campus
Our compact campus is home to leading experts in public health, engineering, computation, genetics, and other fields. Walk to a range of innovation hubs in less than 5 minutes. Collaborations and life-changing conversations are just a short walk away.
To walk a few yards down the hall and talk to a collaborator who already knows how to do the technique you are interested in. That could save you years.
