1/4/11     MIT scientists joined other experts in Washington to discuss emerging "convergence" trends occurring across biomedicine. Articulated in a white paper co-authored by 12 MIT faculty and presented in a forum hosted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the United States must capitalize on these trends — which involve the merger of life, physical and engineering sciences — by fostering and funding the innovation necessary to meet, among other things, the growing demand for accessible, affordable health care.
