The MIT EECS department has long been a source of interdisciplinary research, however in recent years, the number of faculty members who have expanded their research portfolios to include aspects from the life sciences has risen dramatically. This trend is a perfect illustration of the departmentΓÇÖs tag line: ΓÇ£EECS is everywhereΓÇ¥ ΓÇô our view that EECS modes of thinking are important tools in tackling many different domains of investigation. We will briefly highlight selected examples of EECS influences on life science problems, including computational biology algorithms, synthetic biology methods, nanodevices for therapy delivery, ΓÇ£lab on a chipΓÇ¥ devices, computer-assisted surgery, novel medical sensors, medical image analysis methods for disease tracking, prosthetic devices, and others.
