The Marine Biological Laboratory was founded in Woods Hole, MA, in 1888 as a summer research and teaching institution. Boasting a long history of excellence in research and education, the MBL has run internationally acclaimed courses, and hosted leaders in their field researchers from the day it opened. An independent institution for the first 125 years, the MBL has been an affiliate of the University of Chicago since 2013.
