iPS Cell Technology, Gene Editing and Disease Research
CCR Eminent Lecture
Rudolf Jaenisch, a Whitehead Institute Founding Member, focuses on understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression (the biological mechanisms that affect how genetic information is converted into cell structures but that don’t alter the genes in the process). Most recently, this work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and “induced pluripotent stem” (IPS) cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult cells without using an egg.
In 2007, the Jaenisch lab was one of three labs worldwide that reported successfully taking...

Comparative Brain Tumor Consortium Planning Meeting - September 2015
This if the first meeting of the Comparative Brain Tumor Consortium. The primary objective of the NCI Comparative Brain Tumor Consortium (CBTC) is to create a comprehensive, parallel research environment between human and veterinary neurooncologists, neuroimaging experts and cancer biologists for the characterization, validation and further study of canine brain tumors as a naturally-occurring model of human brain tumors.

Punk Guitarist Survives Brain Tumor
Nine lives. That's what guitarist Henry Cluney says he has. The punk rocker made it through a car crash and several bomb blasts in his homeland of Northern Ireland. But then he got hit with another blow; a diagnosis that threatened his music career and his life. Vivien Williams has Henry's story. (Source: Mayo Clinic - Medical Edge Video)
