Much of biology becomes more clear when looking at biological components within the context of their typical surroundings and interactions. This is why Whitehead Institute researchers often tackle the challenge of studying a biological process within its larger context. These efforts provide new insights into individual biological components, the interplay between them, and the ways in which only a deeply interconnected ecosystem of cells and signals can give rise to a complex living organism.
Former Whitehead Institute postdocs reflect on the impact of their time at the Institute.
Whitehead Institute researchers are making discoveries that are helping us rethink what we know about the brain and paving the way for therapies to treat some of the most challenging brain disorders and diseases.
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.
