Mission
To improve human health by discovering fundamental mechanisms of tissue repair, aging and regeneration, translating our discoveries for the benefit of medicine and society, and developing the next generation of scientific leaders.
Program accomplishments
- Research: Our scientists study a broad array of research models to identify the cellular basis for regeneration and aging in humans and how environmental toxins such as arsenic and PFAS impact our susceptibility to disease. Our goal is to develop new therapeutic approaches to enhance our ability to repair cellular damage and resist the degenerative changes that occur with age.In 2024, we welcomed a new faculty member Dr. Emily Spaulding, whose outstanding research on the cellular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health. We were awarded a total of $30,821,832 in multi-year federal grant funding in 2024, including renewal of the largest state-wide research and training network connecting 17 academic and research institutions in Maine. Our scientists collaborated with 20 visiting scientists and continued to expand our early-stage drug discovery and translational research activities through MDI Biosciences.Expenses $10,606,970 · grants $1,700,883 · revenue $87,624
- Education:The MDI Biological Laboratory provides hands-on biomedical training to hundreds of students and professional from all around the world each year. 2024 was a milestone year for MDI Biological Laboratory as we celebrated the renewal of our Maine INBRE grant, a collaborative effort of 17 education and research institutions working to boost the State's research capacity and create a bioscience workforce in Maine.In 2024, we welcomed a new innovative course to campus, ReBilD: Emerging Leaders in Regenerative Biology and Development which explored multiple models for both developmental and regenerative biology through comparative biology experiments. This course was one of 21 courses and conferences hosted by MDI Bio Lab over the course of the year. We welcomed 27 master's and Ph.D. students from 14 countries, in addition to 22 undergraduate summer fellowship students. Our citizen science program facilitated 328 projects through Anecdata.org, identifying harmful algal cells in Frenchman Bay, testing well water and soil samples for the presence of arsenic, and other toxins.Expenses $2,810,862 · grants $2,198,625 · revenue $1,004,801
