Recent rare B decay results from the BaBar experiment

The unprecedented luminosities achieved by the the SLAC and KEK B-factories provide fertile ground for searches for rare B meson decays. The large size of the current BaBar data set, corresponding to approximately 100 million Υ(4s) -> BBbar events, has also permitted the use of novel methods to search for `difficult' rare decay modes such as those possessing multiple unobserved neutrinos. The results of recent searches for several rare semileptonic B decay modes are presented, and the prospects for future discoveries are discussed.
