In order for researchers to understand the biology of living organisms, they must consider what is happening across the size scale — from molecules, to cells to whole organisms. Explore this #WhiteheadStoryArc on scale: wi.mit.edu/series/under...

From growing 3D assemblies of cells, to studying how a network of genes contributes to disease — Whitehead Institute researchers seek to understand biological processes not just in isolation, but in the context of their natural environment. wi.mit.edu/news/biology... #WhiteheadStoryArc

Whitehead Institute of MIT Much of biology becomes more clear when looking at biological components within the context of their typical surroundings and interactions. This is why Whitehead Institute researchers often tackle the...

A researcher can learn a lot from studying a single gene or cell type in isolation. But study a component within the context of its environment, and the picture becomes even more clear. Read our latest #WhiteheadStoryArc: wi.mit.edu/series/biolo...

From investigating genome-wide associations in health and disease to probing individual molecular mechanisms, Whitehead Institute researchers are spanning the continuum of scales across size, time, and process to reshape our understanding of biology: wi.mit.edu/series/under... #WhiteheadStoryArc

Happy #DarwinDay! Many important questions in biology can be answered by looking through an evolutionary lens. Explore this story collection on Whitehead Institute research capturing evolution in action: wi.mit.edu/series/evolu... #WhiteheadStoryArc
