Abstract

The Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, under the leadership of Kevin Strange, is focused on studying regenerative biology, the process by which organisms heal themselves. Scientists like Voot Yin, an assistant professor at MDIBL, are studying zebrafish, which can regrow damaged tissue, in an attempt to understand why humans, who have the same genetic tools, do not have the same capacity. MDIBL has created a for-profit spinoff company, Novo Biosciences Inc., in order to develop an experimental compound found in dogfish shark that impacts the body’s immune response.
