The Whitehead Spring Lecture Series for High School Students offers students an opportunity to learn about cutting edge topics in biomedical research. The three-day program, held over spring vacation, features lectures from leading scientific experts, hands-on laboratory demonstrations, visits to local biotech companies, and opportunities to meet with young Whitehead scientists.

Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to attend. Registration for the 2009 series opens in March and is first-come, first-serve.
