Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Welcome to Broad!

Today, we look at the influence of our Neanderthal ancestry, find the genetic roots of a rare brain tumor, and chase treatments for Chagas disease. We also reveal the structure of a CRISPR complex.

Be it scientific data, workshops, or even a job, we hope you find something of interest at this unique place.

Ancestral legacy How Neanderthal DNA may be influencing modern human biology	Single driver mutation found in rare brain tumor Discovery of BRAF mutation points to potential therapy	Putting a neglected disease in the spotlight The Broad’s Diversity Oriented Synthesis library may hold the key to defeating Chagas disease	Broad, MIT researchers reveal structure of key CRISPR complex Work uncovers secret of how genome-editing tool works as a “guided missile” to correct errors in the genetic code
Data Wherever your interests lie, data from across the Broad can be accessed from this starting point	Broad Workshops BroadE workshops bring researchers in the extended Broad community together so they can learn from one another	Careers We are always looking for new team members to help us tackle important problems at the cutting edge of science	Our Approach The Broad Institute is essentially an “experiment” in a new way of doing science
