Biotechnology: From Bench to Business to Bedside

Scientists are unyielding in their pursuit of discoveries that change and deepen our understanding of the biological world, and that can lead to the development of new types of therapeutics to treat illnesses that currently have poor treatments. Often, they invent new technologies that are pivotal for helping develop these novel types of therapies and treatments. This pipeline integrates the science done in academic laboratories with both start-up biotechnology companies and large pharmaceutical companies that can manufacture, clinically test, and market these new therapeutics.

Please join us for the 2024-2025 Whitehead Institute Seminar Series for High School Teachers, Biotechnology: From Bench to Business to Bedside, as we journey through the lens of science and business to explore the tools and methods, both experimental and computational, that researchers have created in order to answer otherwise unsolvable questions. And the promise these new approaches hold to transform healthcare and help improve human lives.

The first seminar of the 2024-2025 season will be held on Monday, November 4 in McGovern Auditorium at Whitehead Institute. Subsequent sessions will be held the first Monday of every month through June 2025. Each session begins promptly at 4:15 p.m. and includes a lecture and working dinner ending by 6:15 p.m.

Registration is now closed for the 2024—2025 Season Space is limited; we will accept applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
