In 2015, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals partnered with Northeastern University to offer a unique fellowship opportunity in the heart of Boston. The program set out to equip postdoctoral PharmDs with the skills necessary to develop the advanced medicines of the future, like RNAi. The goal was and remains the same: to cultivate the future leaders of biotechnology and allow fellows to pioneer new therapies for patients. Alnylam fellows are grounded in their core expertise area but utilize the fellowship's flexibility to branch out and discover other opportunities throughout the organization with personalized rotational experiences. Part of the backbone of the fellowship program is the Northeastern University teaching opportunities which allow fellows to share their knowledge in an educational setting.

The Global Medical Information team serves to provide healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers with balanced, accurate, and current medical information about Alnylam's products. Medical Information engages cross functionally with other expertise areas such as Pharmacovigilance/Safety, Quality, Legal, Regulatory Affairs, Commercial, Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, and Information Technology, to ensure the safe, effective, and appropriate use of our therapies. Fellows in this program will partake in the development and launch of Medical Information services across the globe supporting multiple products. Furthermore, fellows sharpen their ability to read, interpret, and develop medical content accurately and fairly. While helping build the global medical information infrastructure to support Alnylam's robust pipeline, the fellow will learn key project management skills as well.
