Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is a research organization that convenes a community of researchers from across many disciplines and partner institutions—MIT, Harvard, and Harvard-affiliated hospitals—to fulfill the promise of genomic medicine by accelerating biomedical research and improving human health.

Our researchers are deeply collaborative, nimbly launching innovative, high-risk projects at every scale, inventing new technologies, building and implementing computational tools, developing new therapeutics to advance into the clinic, mentoring and training the next generation of scientists, and sharing our data and tools openly to enable breakthroughs anywhere.

• Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Broad Institute was founded in 2004 to fulfill the promise of genomic medicine.
• The Broad Institute is organized around a new collaborative model for biomedical research.
• Broad aims to ensure that the benefits of genomic medicine are shared by all.
