The HMB Network brings together the Nepali scientific community across Harvard, MIT, and the Greater Boston biotech ecosystem to engage, communicate, and collaborate with one another — and to build lasting partnerships with the Government of Nepal.
The Harvard–MIT–Boston Nepali Scientists Network (HMB Network) is a group that brings together the Nepali scientific community across Harvard, MIT, and the Greater Boston area to engage, communicate, and collaborate with one another, and to work in partnership with the Government of Nepal to advance science, technology, and higher education.
Convene Nepali researchers and clinicians across Boston-area universities, hospitals, and biotech firms through seminars, salons, and an active member directory.
Partner with the Government of Nepal, universities, hospitals, and research institutions to advance joint research, grant proposals, and capacity-building initiatives across borders.
Mentor early-career students and scholars through career talks, application clinics, scholarships, and structured one-on-one guidance programs.
Our chapter is steered by a volunteer executive committee elected by the membership. Together they coordinate programs, partnerships, and outreach.
