Series
Keep up with the research, people and culture of Whitehead Institute through our ongoing series featuring podcasts, photo stories and more.
A researcher can learn a lot from studying, for example, a single gene or cell type in isolation, but much of biology becomes more clear when looking at the components within the context of their typical surroundings and interactions.
Research at Whitehead Institute follows broad, intersecting trajectories. These collections of videos, podcasts, and written articles aim to illuminate the different angles our scientists take to tackle the same problems, and highlight the interdisciplinary cross-pollination that often leads to exciting advances.
With so many impactful projects underway across Whitehead Institute’s labs, this video series breaks down the latest research at the Institute through one-minute explainers by the researchers themselves. Whether these scientists are tackling biological mysteries or exploring the mechanisms underlying various diseases, these bite-sized interviews offer a window into the action unfolding at the lab bench—and the curiosity, collaboration, and wide-ranging inquiry that define the Whitehead Institute community.
Unusual Labmates is a series that explores some of the more unusual models used for research at Whitehead Institute. From rare plants to luminescent beetles to regenerative starfish and worms, these organisms and their unusual traits provide insights into the underlying biology and incredible diversity of living things.
Interesting findings from Whitehead Institute, wrapped up in a three-times-yearly video.
Postdocs are a vital and integral part of Whitehead Institute's research. This series is comprised of profiles that give a glimpse into the lives and work of those scientists.
