From investigating genome-wide associations in health and disease to probing individual molecular mechanisms, Whitehead Institute researchers span the continuum of scales across size, time, and process to reshape our understanding of biology: wi.mit.edu/series/underst…

We've been asking Whitehead Institute scientists to give us their elevator pitch! In the first installment of #Sciencein60, grad student Xochitl Luna describes her research on microglia, the brain's resident immune cells that play a role in MS. Xochitl Luna Olivia Corradin

Polyamines are abundant within cells, and their dysregulation is linked to Parkinson's disease and cancer. The Jain lab has developed a genetically encoded reporter that can track polyamine levels within single living cells in real time. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Alisa White, a postdoc in the Page Lab studying sex differences in the brain, recalls the moment she became interested in foundational research. wi.mit.edu/news/meet-whit… #WhiteheadPostdocProfiles

A researcher can learn a lot from studying a single gene or cell type in isolation. But study a component within the context of its environment, and the picture becomes even more clear. Read our latest #WhiteheadStoryArc: wi.mit.edu/series/biology…

"Overcoming the inherent complexity of biology in living animals required developing new tools that bridge multiple disciplines – including, in this case, genomics, imaging, and AI," Will Allen says. wi.mit.edu/news/putting-l… HHMI Jonathan Weissman's Lab

1/ I'd like to share a major part of my postdoctoral work, co-mentored by Rudolf Jaenisch and Richard Young, and a major collaboration with Olivia Corradin Corradin Lab, all at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MIT Biology and Whitehead Institute.

Meet our alums! Six Whitehead Institute alumni reflect on how their time at the Institute informed their careers, and share updates on where they are now. wi.mit.edu/news/meet-whit… (Diego Huet, Isaac Klein, Shawn Liu)

Researchers in the Oni lab study how pancreatic cancer cells manipulate their microenvironment to escape immune attack. Read how the Oni lab and others at Whitehead are studying cancer in context: wi.mit.edu/news/company-w…

Animals that enter states of dormancy, such as daily torpor or hibernation, live much longer compared to closely related species. But why is that so? And what does it reveal about aging? Whitehead Institute Member Siniša Hrvatin shares how his research probes these questions.
