The Rotunda at the KINSCThe Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center (KINSC) is a platform for scholarly and curricular activities among faculty and students sharing a passion for scientific inquiry across a diverse and interdisciplinary range of topics. The KINSC catalyzes and facilitates programming that maintains Haverford College's position as a leading institution of excellence in the sciences.
The collaborative research conducted by the faculty, staff, and students in KINSC laboratories, is at the forefront of their respective disciplines. It is recognized by the national and international scientific communities, informs public policy, and serves as the foundation for the Haverford science curriculum. The faculty teaching in the KINSC bring their research expertise to the classroom, and, in turn, student skills and energies contribute to the center's on-going research programs through intramural and extramural research opportunities. The KINSC is committed to supporting initiatives that broaden access to scholarship and research for faculty and students alike.
The KINSC is a nexus for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary growth at Haverford and supports curricular and faculty development that promote synergies between existing Departments and cooperation with the Hurford Humanities Center (HHC) and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC).

-
Two articles by the Emeritus Professor of Biology, focusing on the history of notable scientific discoveries, have been published this fall in academic journals. -
The funding will allow the Haverford chemistry professor and his lab to use new methods to study the structural changes that occur when proteins bind to other proteins. The lab's research could shed light on several common diseases associated with disordered proteins. -
New endowment support has helped the Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center fund students pursuing scientific research abroad. A recent presentation for the College's Board of Managers spotlighted their work. -
Thanks to recent endowment support, the KINSC now joins Haverford’s two other interdisciplinary centers--the Hurford Humanities Center and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship – in funding student research.
