Emerging Therapies for Managing and Treating Diseases

Recent scientific advances in biotechnology and drug discovery are revolutionizing the treatment of many types of diseases, from immunotherapies like engineered antibodies to fight cancer to gene therapies linked to reversing the damage of Alzheimer's. These advancements hold the potential to transform patient care through innovative treatments that were once considered beyond reach.

Please join us for the 2025-2026 Whitehead Institute Seminar Series for High School Teachers, Emerging Therapies for Managing and Treating Diseases, as we explore novel methods and breakthroughs that are changing the healthcare landscape and advancing our approach to understanding human health and disease.

The first seminar of the 2025-2026 season will be held on Monday, November 3 in McGovern Auditorium at Whitehead Institute. Subsequent sessions will be held the first Monday of every month through June 2026. Each session begins promptly at 4:15 p.m. and includes a lecture and working dinner ending by 6:15 p.m.

The final day for registration is Friday, October 24, 2025 Space is limited; we will accept applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whitehead partner program

As in previous years, we will match each teacher with a postdoctoral fellow, graduate student, or technician partner, who will serve as a resource for you throughout the year. So that we can match you with a partner who is able to meet your specific needs, please decide which level of partnership is most appropriate for you.






Check one:



* We will do our best to accommodate this request, but cannot guarantee the same partner as last year.

** Partner visits can be arranged at both the Minimum and Medium levels should a mutual agreement exist between both teacher and partner.
