Benaroya Research Institute

Applications are open for our 2026 summer internship program! 🔬📚✏️

We encourage undergraduate students to apply and join us in advancing research that improves the lives of people affected by autoimmune disease and other immune system conditions, including cancer, allergies and asthma.

Our in-person, eight-week program gives interns the opportunity to go beyond the classroom and gain hands-on research experience alongside our scientists. Students work directly with a lab mentor, perform experiments and/or analyze data, attend lab meetings and guest lectures, and take part in journal clubs and an end-of-summer intern symposium.

🗓️ Program dates: June 22–August 14, 2026

⏰ Application deadline: February 13, 2026

📣 Accepted applicants will be notified no later than March 13, 2026.

📌 If you’re passionate about science and interested in research that advances our understanding of immune system diseases, we encourage you to learn more and apply today: bri-news.short.gy/baBfPT
