Researchers conducted CRISPR screens in traditional cell culture media versus a physiologic medium that more closely mimics human blood, and found that the relative essentiality of many genes could vary with these different conditions.
Work on HIV’s RNA structure and the compartmentalization of cancer drugs are in the running as part of STAT News’ annual single-elimination March Madness-style research competition
Richard She is a postdoc in Whitehead Institute Member Jonathan Weissman’s lab studying human evolution. We sat down with Richard to learn more about him and his experiences in and out of the lab.
Cesar Dominguez's family emigrated from Mexico to the U.S. at a young age. Growing up in a relatively homogenous community led him to seek out more diverse perspectives as he honed his research skills in structural biology. He now studies how cells can withstand and transmit mechanical force.
Experience a multimedia story exploring Whitehead Member Jing-Ke Weng’s work. Weng’s laboratory is combining the ancient wisdom of traditional plant-based global medicine with genomics, analytical chemistry, and synthetic biology in order to advance our understanding of plant metabolic evolution and impact a new era of natural products-based therapeutics.
On Thursday, February 11 at 4 pm, join us for a compelling presentation & discussion moderated by Whitehead Institute Member Pulin Li on what Whitehead Fellows Silvia Rouskin and Kipp Weiskopf are learning about SARS-CoV-2 & how their research may aid in the fight against future viruses.
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?
Germline cells live in a never-ending loop, forming the body’s most tangible link from generation to generation. In this short video, Yukiko Yamashita, Ruth Lehmann and David Page talk about their work on tracking germline cells’ throughout their migration to the gonads and eventual commitment to their fates.
