Whitehead Institute invests an extraordinary amount of time and energy in activities that are often described, broadly, as “mentoring.” At Whitehead Institute, that term covers a lot of ground, and it benefits quite an array of people: from some of the world’s most promising postdoctoral researchers and graduate students to local high school students and science teachers.
Sheri Grill is a postdoc in Whitehead Institute Director Ruth Lehmann’s lab studying germ cells, the cells that become eggs and sperm. We sat down with Sheri to learn more about her and her experiences in and out of the lab.
In honor of Women's History Month, we asked Whitehead Institute community members if they would share stories about women who have inspired them, both professionally and personally. In response, we heard about brilliant scientists, wonderful mentors, and warm friends. Here are some of their stories.
Researchers at Whitehead Institute are breathing new life into the study of rejuvenation, the ability of cells to repair and replenish tissues — and potentially learning how to slow or reverse the changes our cells experience over time.
Whitehead Institute scientists are finding new ways to follow cells as they move around the body, pass through their life cycles, and arrive at their ultimate fates. Instead of just a snapshot, these approaches provide a rich history of their function, their journey, and in some instances their role in disease, when they go awry.
Whitehead Institute is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists, especially postdocs. Get to know a few of these remarkable scientists through these profiles.
