Seminar Series for High School Teachers 2023-2024

Researchers are studying the developmental time clocks behind our cellular processes in order to understand how we age and how these processes are recapitulated in regeneration. Their work helps us understand what it means to age, and may contribute to therapies for diseases of aging, such as cancer.

Whitehead Institute’s 2023-2024 Seminar Series for High School Teachers, Insights into regeneration, rejuvenation, and aging, will explore the progress being made by researchers to understand how aging leads to changes at the molecular and cellular levels, and the potential of this knowledge to transform human health.

The first seminar of the 2023-2024 season will be held on Monday, November 6 in McGovern Auditorium at Whitehead Institute. Subsequent sessions will be held the *first Monday of every month through June 2024 (*with the exception of the January session, which will be held on Monday, January 8). Each session begins promptly at 4:15 p.m. and includes a lecture and working dinner ending by 6:15 p.m.

The deadline for registration is Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Space is limited; we will accept applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
