Education

New scientific approaches are revolutionizing our knowledge of human biology and disease. The Broad Institute is dedicated to sharing this exciting new knowledge — and its social implications — with everyone. Through a variety of outreach activities, public programs, online educational resources, and events, we invite others to learn more about exciting discoveries that are unfolding  and what this new knowledge means for them. Our outreach efforts currently include:

Diversity Initiative in Scientific Research
A series of hands-on programs encouraging underrepresented minorities at all levels of scientific training to pursue biomedical research.

Educational Outreach Program
An on-site program enabling local high school students and teachers to explore what it means to be a scientist.

DNAtrium
A collection of unique, interactive science exhibits located in the Broad Institute’s 7 Cambridge Center building and geared toward a wide audience.

Midsummer Nights' Science
Midsummer Nights' Science is an annual lecture series that explores key advances in genomic research. This lecture series is held each summer and is open to the general public.
