Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Welcome to Broad!

Today, we announce a new commitment from the Merkin Family Foundation, set sights on a cancer target, and form a fruitful partnership. We also look for clues in a tiny fish’s genome. Be it scientific data, analytical tools, or even a job, we hope you find something of interest at this unique place.

The Merkin Family Foundation pledges new commitment to the Broad Institute to fund next generation of scientists Promising Broad scientists to be selected as Merkin Institute Fellows	Target set on cancer gene MCL1 New tools identified to predict drug resistance, repress commonly amplified cancer gene	A Sage partnership Co-developing an automated DNA size selection technology brings Broad researchers, industry together	Stickleback genome holds clues to adaptive evolution Researchers identify genetic regions that allow fish to live in vastly different habitats
Data Wherever your interests lie, data from across the Broad can be accessed from this starting point	Software Scientists in the Broad community have developed many critical software tools for the analysis of increasingly large genome-related datasets, and they make these tools openly available to the scientific community	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
