Meet the Class of 2019
Our Goals?
- To identify, recruit and nurture talented students from Boston and Cambridge, particularly students from groups underrepresented in medicine and/or disadvantaged, who are interested in pursuing biomedical careers.
- To link students with scientists and physicians. Students will assess their interest in and aptitude for biomedical careers; engage in hands-on research to enhance their technical skills and scientific knowledge; and be encouraged to become critical thinkers.
- To provide continuing support and resources for students in developing academic and professional career paths.

Spaulding Rehabilitation Center: August 2nd
This past Friday the students visited Spaulding hospital. Here they met specialists in sports medicine, spinal cord injury, and amputations.

Lab Visits
Last week we conducted lab visits to see in person the work environment of our students. Each student and lab host/mentor gave a tour of the lab and then we sat down to discuss the status of their summer project! Pictured below is Aby Lachapelle working hard in Dr. Lu's lab! Her summer project includes culturing cells to determine the protein profiles of mice afflicted with kidney failure.

Orientation Events: June 24th and 25th
2019 Project Success student interns kicked off their summer by learning about the field of pathology and interacting with mannequins at the STRATUS center. Dr. Robert Padera, a pathologist and researcher at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and his team joined them during their orientation to give hands-on exposure to human pathology. Student interns interacted with different human organs, diseased and healthy, such as hearts, livers, and lungs. They learned about the effects that alcoholism, tobacco addiction, and an unhealthy diet has on our body.
Roles were switch the next day when the student interns visited the STRATUS center at the Brigham. Simulation specialist, Patrick Sargent, and his team led an interactive tour where student interns were able to resuscitate and intubate a patient mannequin. They also prepped for surgery as they learned the ins and outs of an operation room. It was a memorable experience, motivating these students to continue their path to a health care career in either medicine or research.
