Information on EIHS Summer Stem Cell Internships

LOS ANGELES - July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Elliott Broidy’s partnership with the Early Investigator High School Program (EIHS) at University of Southern California (USC) offers an unparalleled opportunity for high school students, and future scientists, to explore the advanced world of stem cell science.  As Elliott Broidy did for the summer program in 2014, he has again donated funds so youth from disadvantaged situations can attend the prestigious program.


EIHS provides wide-ranging training in stem cell theory and practice by combining the use of laboratory time and lecture teaching methods. More than 20 students receive hands-on training and mentorship at the USC Stem Cell Core facility and research laboratories while in the internship. These students also attend weekly forums, which provide a foundation in the ethical and political issues relating to stem cell science and regenerative medicine. There is currently no other high school program in the United States that teaches all facets of these advanced practices.


Elliott Broidy graduated with an MBA from the USC Marshall School Business. He went on to start Broidy Capital Management in 1991. The success of his investment firm has helped Elliott Broidy become a leading philanthropist with numerous projects. Elliott Broidy was appointed by Secretary Michael Chertoff to serve on the United States Homeland Security Advisory Council and was a member of the Board of Directors for the Los Angeles Police Foundation. Elliott Broidy was also appointed by the President to serve on the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
