Here is what our 2010 MLSC interns had to say about their experiences:

The MLCS internship at DMI was a great experience. I got to work on amazing technology that will make a real difference in the world and I also learned so much more about engineering, medicine, and business.

- Andrew B., M.D. candidate, Harvard Medical School

At my MLCS internship with DNA Medicine Institute, I was able to gain valuable experience as an engineer while learning about some incredible new technologies. I got to feel like a real part of the company, working on important problems and making decisions that will affect the final design of the product. I enjoyed my internship so much that I continued on as a full-time engineer at the company after the internship ended,
