The MIT Biology Catalyst Symposium is part of an ongoing effort to bring outstanding postdocs to MIT to engage with members of our community. Aimed specifically at postdocs pursuing academic careers across many areas of biology, the three-day symposium provides a venue for participants to share their research, discuss exciting new directions, make new professional connections, and get to know the department. The event also includes mentoring activities to support the speakers in pursuing independent academic positions.
The 2026 Catalyst Symposium will take place May 5th-May 7th, 2026.
Please contact Community and Professional Support Specialist Hallie Dowling-Francisco with any questions.
