MIT, Harvard, Boston University, Tufts, and Northeastern together create an unmatched cluster of Indian graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and faculty. The Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Boston's world-leading biotech corridor (Kendall Square in Cambridge, the Longwood Medical Area) together employ thousands of Indian medical professionals and biotechnology researchers.
