Subject: Summer Scholars Program at Harvard Medical School

Hello,

Hope you are doing well.

My name is Anna and I am assisting in coordinating the Summer Scholars Program at Harvard Medical School for Summer 2020. I was wondering if it is possible to forward the application information to interested Biology students at MIT.
Summer Scholars Program is an undergraduate summer internship program at Harvard Medical School open to undergraduate students who express a strong interest in studying molecular mechanisms in biology and are also interested in graduate studies.

The application portal is currently open and admission is rolling; we would love it if any qualified students from MIT would apply! More information would be on our website: https://www.scholars.hms.harvard.edu/info. I've also copied a brief program description below this email.

Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Anna Guo
Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital
Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

Summer Scholars Program at Harvard Medical School


Summer Scholars is a Harvard Medical School summer internship program (June - August) for motivated undergraduates with a strong interest in pursuing graduate studies focused on molecular mechanisms in biology. The program offers students the opportunity to gain experience in hands-on laboratory, genomics or bioinformatics research; to interact with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other summer interns; to attend weekly luncheon/seminar presentations by department members on specific research projects and cutting-edge research tools; and to improve the presentation, writing, and communication skills.


Please apply as soon as possible, as our application deadline is approaching.


HMS Summer Scholars Program has been in place since 2014. For the list of our alumni and more detailed description about the program, please visit our page: https://www.scholars.hms.harvard.edu/info.


Stipend:

·     For the duration of the program, Scholars will receive a stipend of $4725.


To better illustrate the breadth of our research and activities, we include examples of selected projects that have been completed by Summer Scholars in previous years:

·     Use of chemical biology to study the human microbiome (Sloan Devin)

·     The control of all stages of gene expression; the mechanisms of DNA replication, recombination, and repair (Steve Buratowski, Phil Cole, Karen Adelman, Johannes Walter, Kevin Struhl Laboratories);

·     The structure and function of proteins, protein-RNA complexes, and membrane transporters using crystallography, cryoEM, and NMR (Eric Fischer, Mike Eck, Steven Backlow, Andrew Kruse, Hao Wu, Tim Springer, and Haribabu Arthanari) and single-molecule methods (Joe Loparo, Johannes Walter);

·     Molecular approaches to gene regulation and protein function during herpesvirus replication and latency (Don Coen);

·     The biosynthesis of membrane lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins; principles of antibiotic and natural product synthesis (Jon Clardy)

·     Computational approaches in structural biology (Python programming, grid computing, drug discovery and molecular dynamics) - Sliz Laboratory.

·     Genomics - The Cohort Study project at Boston Children's Hospital has multiple openings for students that are interested in working with investigators on sequencing and data analysis projects in a variety of disease areas including neurological, endocrine, psychiatric, gastric and more.


Prospective internship students must meet the following minimum requirements:

·     Students from U.S. undergraduate institutions with an accumulated GPA of 3.6 or higher should visit our website for further instructions to submit an application. Please indicate the lab of interest in your cover letter.
