Meet the Interns Intern Interview Invitations We issue interview invitations when our review is complete, but because we review each application in depth and write a detailed summary of each applicant, our reviews take longer than most other programs. We apologize for this but believe that reviewing the complete application and not using filters to exclude applicants is the fairest approach and allows us to identify the best applicants. Also, because we do not review applications in a systematic order some applications do not get reviewed until the end of the reading period and some applicants will receive interview invitations before others. Please note that we expect to complete our review and issue all interview invitations by November 9th. You will hear from us by then. More information about the process of applying is listed here . The schedule of interview days is listed here . SIGNALING If you choose to signal the BCRP and wish to apply to more than one track (e.g., Categorical and LEAD or one of the combination tracks) you do not need to signal each track separately. If you signal any track within the BCRP we will assume that signal extends to any other tracks to which you apply.

The treatment is based on the discovery at Children’s that the transcription factor BCL11A executes the fetal switch. When BCL11A is permanently downregulated in a sickle cell patient’s hematopoietic stem cells, fetal hemoglobin, which does not sickle, is turned back on and the patient is functionally cured. Tim Springer wins prestigious Lasker Award Tim Springer, the Latham Family Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School and a member of the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children’s Hospital is a co-recipient of the 2022 Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for his discoveries concerning the integrins. The integrins are membrane proteins that are key mediators of cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion and play a central role in an astounding array of physiological and developmental processes and, increasingly, in the treatment of myriad diseases. Awarded annually since 1945, the Lasker Award is perhaps the most prestigious of all American awards recognizing major contributions to medical science.
