RNA

Beyond the Gene is a collection of pieces across storytelling mediums--text, audio, and video--that together paint a picture of how current research at Whitehead Institute is expanding the understanding of gene regulation.

Kehui “Coffee” Xiang is a postdoc in Whitehead Institute Member David Bartel’s lab and a Cancer Research Institute Irvington Fellow supported by the Cancer Research Institute. He is investigating regulation of gene expression by RNA. We sat down with Xiang to learn more about him and his experiences in and out of the lab. 

Some of the newest and brightest at Whitehead Institute discuss their current research and the future of science. Speakers include - Whitehead Institute Fellow Olivia Corradin: Uncovering New Insights into Human Disease from Genetic Risk Factors - Whitehead Institute Member Ankur Jain: Liquids, Gels, and Neurodegeneration - Whitehead Institute Fellow Kristin Knouse: Innovation in Regenerative Medicine Moderated by Nancy C. Andrews, MD, PhD, former dean of Duke University School of Medicine

Whitehead Fellow Kristin Knouse has received an NIH Director’s Early Independence Award. The award—part of the National Institute of Health (NIH) High-Risk, High-Reward Research program—was established in 2010 to enable exceptional junior scientists to move immediately into independent research positions.
