Job Description:
Position Summary Join the cutting-edge Stem Cell and
Regenerative Biology Program at Boston Children’s Hospital. We are
seeking a highly motivated and organized Administrative Associate

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. This positions 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. Key
