Knouse Lab

In this special episode of AudioHelicase, we talk to three researchers about the cells in our bodies that can regenerate – and those that can’t. We ask, why can some cells no longer renew themselves? And, importantly, can we change that?

Some of the newest and brightest at Whitehead Institute discuss their current research and the future of science. Speakers include - Whitehead Institute Fellow Olivia Corradin: Uncovering New Insights into Human Disease from Genetic Risk Factors - Whitehead Institute Member Ankur Jain: Liquids, Gels, and Neurodegeneration - Whitehead Institute Fellow Kristin Knouse: Innovation in Regenerative Medicine Moderated by Nancy C. Andrews, MD, PhD, former dean of Duke University School of Medicine

Whitehead Fellow Kristin Knouse has received an NIH Director’s Early Independence Award. The award—part of the National Institute of Health (NIH) High-Risk, High-Reward Research program—was established in 2010 to enable exceptional junior scientists to move immediately into independent research positions.
