Broad Institute

The Broad Summer Scholars Program (BSSP) invites a small number of exceptional and mature students with a strong interest in science to spend six weeks at the Broad Institute.

We match students with Broad scientists to conduct original, cutting-edge research projects in areas such as: cancer biology, chemical biology, computational biology, genome sequencing and analysis, and more. In addition to original research, students will explore scientific careers; attend the Midsummer Nights’ Science lecture series; learn about personal genomics; meet and hear about the research of faculty and scientists from MIT, Harvard, and the Broad; present their research to the Broad community in a scientific poster session; attend a college fair; and meet other students conducting research.

BSSP runs from June 26, 2017 – August 4, 2017.
