College Internship & Co-op Program
We recruit students from colleges and universities across the country to participate in three- or six-month-long assignments spanning all departments at Blueprint. Our program is designed for students to learn about a specific area of our business, as well as our industry more broadly, from early research to commercialization of a drug. We value our relationships with universities and programs like Project Onramp to bring talented students into the Blue Crew.
Application Timeline: Applications for summer internship positions typically open around February, and semester co-op applications follow our partner university timelines. During this time, check your school’s job board or learn about open positions here.
"Interns and co-op students add tremendous value to the Blueprint Medicines community. They bring fresh perspectives directly from the classroom that help us think through challenges and drive toward our goal of improving and extending life for as many people as possible."

About me
I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts called Millbury, where I graduated from the local high school. In May 2023, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Tufts University. Throughout most of my time as a Tufts undergraduate student, I worked as an intern in Blueprint’s Research & Development organization in the Biology department. After graduation, I started as a full-time employee in the same department.
Why I joined Blueprint Medicines
I chose to join Blueprint Medicines because of its mission to make real the promise of precision therapy to improve and extend life for people with cancer and its distinctive company culture. Starting my internship in the fall of 2020, I lacked laboratory experience and clarity on my career path in biology. Blueprint provided a platform for me to discover my passion for conducting meaningful biological research and contributing to the goal to improve treatment options for those in need. Moreover, the supportive and collaborative environment fostered by respected colleagues has made Blueprint not just a workplace, but also a community of trusted friends.
Glimpses into my Internship
During my internship, I found significant enjoyment in events that offered insights into a career in the life science industry. These events include the summer intern poster session and interactive journal club. Working on projects from conception to completion has been rewarding. Moreover, participating in company events highlighted Blueprint’s commitment to fostering a positive work environment, demonstrating a genuine concern for employee morale.

About me
I am originally from the sunny city of Tampa, FL. I attended MCPHS University, which started my educational journey that led me to graduate with my doctorate degree in pharmacy, PharmD, in May 2023. During my time in Boston, I had the opportunity to rotate around various fields of healthcare, which gave me a diverse array of professional experiences. I had direct patient care experience from my time at CVS and surrounding hospitals such as Boston Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center. I also gained indirect patient care experience from my time with Takeda and Cardinal Health.
Why I joined Blueprint Medicines
I had multiple reasons that led to my decision to join Blueprint. First, my interviews with the leadership team and fellowship cohort gave me a sense of flexibility, cohesion and reliability. The culture was very welcoming and inclusive, which was extremely attractive for an aspiring industry professional. Furthermore, through my research I found that Blueprint had an encouraging pipeline, which I thought would provide an incredible opportunity to learn about the nuances in the precision medicine landscape. For these two reasons, I found that the decision to join the Blue Crew was extremely easy.
Glimpses into my Fellowship
During my fellowship at Blueprint, I relish the opportunity to interact with my talented cohort and appreciate the flexibility to structure my core and elective rotations, particularly in Regulatory Sciences, spanning areas such as Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls, Regulatory Operations, Strategy, Advertising/Promotion, and International Markets. My cohort of fellows and individual mentors have been the best part of my experience at Blueprint.

About me
Originally from San Francisco, CA, I pursued a dual Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Legal Studies at Northwestern University. Transitioning from a finance role at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, my career path shifted toward healthcare. I initially embarked on a medical school trajectory but adapted my plan during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for the dual Master’s program at Boston University. Currently as an MBA Leadership Fellow at Blueprint, I am actively rotating within Commercial teams, contributing to projects spanning Market Access, Business Analytics, New Product Planning and Marketing. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with the Patient Advocacy team. This role allows me to leverage my business background and solidify my presence in the healthcare industry.
Why I joined Blueprint Medicines
I became especially interested in biotech after a previous internship in the space. When I was considering post-graduate opportunities, I prioritized biotech companies with leadership rotational programs because I wanted an opportunity that would give me a broad and comprehensive experience across diverse functions and roles. Ultimately, I chose Blueprint because I was incredibly impressed by the people and the organizational culture. During the interview process, everyone spoke highly of their managers, the robust support networks, the opportunities for career development, and the resources and benefits indicative of a company committed to employee welfare.
Glimpses into my Fellowship
During my initial months at Blueprint, I have really enjoyed getting to know my team and being able to jump in right away on different projects. Even though I am still new to the industry and the role, the welcoming and supportive environment has allowed me to transition quickly and successfully contribute to critical processes and projects. Having just experienced my first Core Values Week, I am doubly energized about the positive impact of our medications on patient’s lives and the powerful and courageous stories shared by my Blueprint colleagues.
