Video of 2017 Whitehead Symposium: Welcome and State of the Institute

As part of the Whitehead Institute Board of Directors’ strategy for continuing renewal, three highly regarded Board members will leave those roles this July. Each has made significant contributions to the organization’s ongoing capacity to conduct cutting-edge biomedical research and to train future scientific leaders.

Endowed chairs are generally created through philanthropic gifts from individual donors, organizations, or groups of donors honoring a specific person. The chairs — of which Whitehead Institute currently has five — provide steady, predictable funding to support investigations in Members’ labs.

We invite you to explore our 2023 Annual Report, and learn about the work we are doing, the scientific advances we are making, and our diverse and collaborative community.
