The Broad Institute was founded in 2003 to transform medicine for the next generation and beyond. An organization that sits at the nexus of the world's leading academic and clinical research institutions, we are tackling some of the most important biomedical problems of our time by combining genomic tools and knowledge with new approaches to drug discovery to propel major advances in human disease. Through deep collaborations that span the Boston area and beyond, our scientists forge connections with researchers at MIT, Harvard and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals, and with experts in a vast range of areas across biology, chemistry, computation, medicine and cutting-edge technologies.
Here, ideas and data are shared openly, and difficult questions galvanize our community, rallying us to action.
