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."

Meet Sophia
I am originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts and found a community during my internship experience. I joined Blueprint Medicines as a Pharmacology Intern in 2019 as I worked toward a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Boston University. As a Pharmacology Intern, I learned key in-vivo skills while supporting pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) studies. Now, I am a Senior Research Associate in Biology, supporting our KIT franchise by overseeing the screening of compounds through in-vitro assays. Outside of work, I enjoy art and dancing.
My internship:
After learning about Blueprint through a university career portal, the internship program quickly became my top choice. It’s rare to find opportunities for undergraduates looking to gain in-industry pharmacology and in-vivo experience. I gained very valuable mentors who I look up to and have inspired me to continue in this field. My internship served as a great opportunity to meet other scientists who have already travelled down a similar career path or are still exploring the field.
My Blueprint Medicines:
Joining a structured internship program highlighted Blueprint’s dedication as a company to nurturing upcoming talent. Even after one week, it became clear that Blueprint’s culture fosters a collaboration-centered community and invests in the professional growth of its people.
My greatest achievement:
Gaining the confidence to execute in-vivo techniques independently. My mentors taught me that with enough patience and careful guidance, you can truly master any skill.
My advice:
You won’t know an outcome unless you try. It’s easy to doubt yourself during an internship application process or be intimidated by a new experience. The best thing you can do for yourself is take on these challenges. As an intern, I always hesitated to introduce myself or even ask others for help. Coming out of my internship experience, I learned that there’s no better way to achieve your goals than stepping outside of your comfort zone and forging your own path.
