A Summer of Science Internship (Summer Interns)
Our ten-week Summer of Science Internship Program provides research training opportunities for students to actively contribute to a team project in industry research. At the heart of our internship program lies a vibrant community where interns live, work, and learn together, fostering lifelong connections and collaborative growth as they gain research experience that enhances their preparation for careers in biomedical research and application to top graduate programs. A unique aspect of this program that accelerates peer-peer mentoring is the residential component wherein interns reside in a college dormitory at a local university, thus providing a warm environment to grow and solidify a meaningful, professional network of peers.
Interns will learn about BR’s approach to patient-driven research as they work on their own research project under the guidance of a BR scientist mentor at our research facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts or San Diego, California. BR's research covers many disease, science, and technology areas that allow us to closely match each intern’s specific interests with one of our labs. Double majors and/or minors in both STEM and business or finance are also encouraged to apply for a limited number of slots to be paired with BR finance supervisors.
