Help Protect Our Planet
Andrew Carnegie founded this institution in 1902 as a home for world-transforming scientific discoveries. Our mission—to advance investigation, research, and discovery, and apply that knowledge to the improvement of humankind—is now more urgent than ever. An independent research institution, we provide our scientists with the flexibility to seize opportunities as they arise and define new fields.
The pursuit of answers—fueled by our scientist’s curiosity, intellect, and creativity—has resulted in substantial breakthroughs, including McClintock's work with "jumping genes" and Fire's co-discovery of RNAi.
When you give to Carnegie, you are supporting the next generation of scientific luminaries as they probe the mysteries of our planet, the impact human activity has on our fragile ecosystems, and the synthesis of molecules that make life possible.
Our Science
We are now entering a time of scientific discovery unparalleled in our history. This new age brings a convergence of trends in scientific practice and technology that allows interdisciplinary research to thrive at the Division of Biosphere Sciences and Engineering.
