Genetics + Genomics

Whitehead Institute researchers have discovered that particular signaling pathways, which transmit environmental cues and effect changes in gene expression, rely on phase-separated condensates to find, occupy, and activate the right genes in each cell type

Ally Nguyen is a postdoc in Whitehead Institute Member Iain Cheeseman’s lab investigating genes involved in chromosome segregation during mitosis. We sat down with Nguyen to learn more about her and her experiences in and out of the lab.

Namita Bisaria is a postdoc in Whitehead Institute Member David Bartel’s lab investigating how microRNAs regulate gene expression.

Whitehead Institute scientists have been uncovering the roles of regulatory RNA in controlling gene expression
