Michael is a director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. He is also co-director of the Institute for Computationally Designed Organisms. Michael’s Levin Lab focuses on “Embodied Minds: understanding diverse intelligence in evolved, designed, and hybrid complex systems” and works “at the intersection of developmental biology, artificial life, bioengineering, synthetic morphology, and cognitive science”. This work includes the bioengineering of novel living machines and has clinical applications in regenerative medicine.

Michael has a sentiocentric moral scope in concept but not yet in practice. He has a naturalistic worldview.
