Join the cutting-edge Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Program at Boston Children’s Hospital as a Program Coordinator. We are seeking a highly motivated and organized Program Coordinator to support our program. The Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Program was launched in 2004 by Leonard Zon, MD and George Q. Daley, MD, PhD. The program’s sole mission is to explore, understand, and translate the promise of stem cells into effective clinical therapies and treatments. Our patients’ health and a future filled with promise are what drive the researchers, faculty and staff of the Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Program at Boston Children’s Hospital.

What are stem cells? Stem cells are single cells with two unique qualities: they can make endless copies of themselves, and they can mature into a variety of specialized cells. These qualities make stem cells promising tools in medicine, allowing patients to receive needed cells or tissues, or have diseased cells or tissues replaced with healthy ones. Grown in the lab, genetically repaired if needed, and coaxed to become a specific tissue, stem cells allow doctors to patch a scarred heart, reawaken damaged nerves or reboot an immune system incapable of fighting infection. Stem cells are invaluable to scientists in understanding human disease.

The coordinator serves as a key resource for the program, and will partner closely with the Program Administration Manager, Research Administration Manager, Faculty members, and staff to ensure smooth and efficient operations.
