Mission
The Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) is an independent marine research institution founded in 1898. The Laboratory is located in the village of Salisbury Cove, Maine, a small community wrapped around sheltered coves and wooded peninsulas on the northern edge of Mount Desert Island. Year round and seasonal research is conducted at the MDIBL in the areas of marine biomedicine and physiology, marine molecular biology and functional genomics, bioinformatics, environmental toxicology and toxic genomics, transgenic species, and neuroscience. Hands-on educational programs provide research experience and training to scientists at all levels, from high school to senior investigators.
