Company Profile
Broad Institute
Company Overview
The Broad Institute brings together a diverse group of individuals from across its partner institutions — undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, professional scientists, administrative professionals, and academic faculty.
The culture and environment at the Broad is designed to encourage creativity and to engage all participants, regardless of role or seniority, in the mission of the Institute. Within this setting, researchers are empowered — both intellectually and technically — to confront even the most difficult biomedical challenges.
The Institute’s organization is unique among biomedical research institutions. It encompasses three types of organizational units: core member laboratories, programs and platforms. Scientists within these units work closely together — and with other collaborators around the world — to tackle critical problems in human biology and disease.
Company History
Although founded less than ten years ago, the Broad Institute's history actually reaches much further back into successful large-scale scientific collaborations in genomics and chemical biology that grew out of major initiatives at Harvard and MIT, respectively.
The unique cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary culture of the Broad Institute requires a leadership team committed to empowering everyone here with the ability to contribute their diverse talents to the singular purpose of transforming medicine.
In addition to our strong internal leadership, we benefit deeply from the wise stewardship and commitment of a world-class Board of Directors and Board of Scientific Counselors.
Benefits
