At MIT, we focus our strengths in education, research, and innovation on critical, interconnected issues in human health, from prevention strategies to life-saving treatments that are equitably applied across societies. In 2020, we pivoted swiftly to confront the Covid-19 pandemic while maintaining and expanding research across the Institute.
On February 18, 2021, MIT alumni and friends gathered to hear insights from Institute leaders, faculty, and alumni who are using their knowledge to advance global health on multiple fronts.
