As our 2026 summer program is underway, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on the impact this program has made over the years. From 2022 to 2026, our summer program has supported the educational and professional journeys of 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝟎 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 with remarkable outcomes:

💠𝟏𝟎𝟎% of participants completed high school and graduated on time.
💠All 𝟏𝟎 participants who graduated during the 2025-2026 school year plan to pursue a four-year degree.
💠All 𝟒𝟑 students who graduated between 2022-2025 have enrolled in a four-year college, two-year college, or trade program.
💠𝟕 students continue to build a foundation for their future success as they finish up high school.

🎉The most exciting statistic of all: In a survey of program graduates, all 𝟑𝟔 respondents intend to pursue a major or minor in the life sciences!

Our summer program is designed to introduce students to careers in the life sciences whilst preparing them for post-secondary school ventures. These outcomes demonstrate the lasting impact the program makes by continuously inspiring students to pursue higher education and careers in the life sciences.

Alright, so you're ready to reach that upper management or C-Suite position. You're ready for greater responsibilities, increased influence, and (if we're being honest) a higher paycheck.

Whether you're already in an upper-management position or you're looking to take the next step in your career, our 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 program is designed to give you the skills and confidence needed to successfully lead your team and organization.

This program may also be eligible for reimbursement! Massachusetts-based companies with fewer than 50 employees may qualify for 100% reimbursement, while companies with 51–100 employees may qualify for 50% reimbursement. Our team is here to support you through the reimbursement application process. Reach out to 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬@𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐞𝐝.𝐨𝐫𝐠 before 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 to get started!

When asked about her favorite part of BioTeach and her experience in the LEAH Daly summer internship program, Cesia Cuc Ramos couldn't choose just one moment.

“Every day was a new experience and really allowed me to delve into what biotechnology was and expand my horizons.”

Through hands-on lab work, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and daily discoveries, she gained not only technical skills but also confidence in her future. What began as an interest in STEM evolved into a clear career path. Thanks to her summer experience, Cesia discovered a passion for research and a new career goal she hadn’t even known existed before – becoming a physician-scientist! She is now in the YES for CURE program at Beth Israel.

At MassBioEd, we're proud to help students explore biotechnology, discover their passions, and envision futures they may never have imagined.

Our Bioteach team began their 2026 summer internship in partnership with the LEAH Project at the Biogen CoLabs! 🧬

During week one, students practiced good lab techniques, explored lab equipment, reviewed central dogma, learned how PCR works, and isolated their DNA from cheek cells to determine if they have a preference for morning or evening activities depending on which alleles they have of the Per3 gene!

We're so excited to see what our interns learn and accomplish this summer. Follow along as we share weekly recaps of their journey!

Can you believe our 2026 Life Sciences Workforce Conference was only a month ago?!

We're still excited by the insightful conversations and meaningful connections that stemmed from this year's conference. Thank you again to everyone who joined us and helped advance important discussions about the future of the life sciences workforce.

We're excited to share that MassBioEd won the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceutical (NIIMBL) Workforce Innovation of the Year Award for our Apprenticeship Program.

What began seven years ago, our apprenticeship program bloomed into a nationally recognized apprenticeship that open doors to careers in the life sciences industry through a mixture of classroom learning and paid, on-the-job experience at biopharmaceutical companies. A huge thank you to our employer and university partners, donors, and community that make this work possible.

We also want to shout out our apprenticeship team, Germaine Palmer and Corinne Kelly, whose incredible dedication and hard work have helped build this program into what it is today. Their commitment to expanding access to life sciences careers has not only made a life changing impact on our apprentices but has also helped shaped a more inclusive life sciences workforce. We also want to recognize Brian Souza for his leadership in guiding the Workforce Development team and for representing our apprenticeship program at NIIMBL’s High-Impact 2026 National Meeting.

We're so honored to have received this recognition!
