Kevin Strange became the first president and full-time director of the MDI Biological Laboratory in July 2009, after a career as an NIH-funded biomedical scientist and administrator at Harvard Medical School and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. As president, Strange is refocusing the MDI Biological Laboratory's research program and recruiting multidisciplinary scientists to understand the genetic mechanisms of tissue repair, regeneration, and aging. In 2013, three years after establishing this new research focus, the MDI Biological Laboratory was recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a center of research excellence in regenerative and aging biology and medicine.
