The Whitehead programs, resources and tools listed below apply to high school, college and graduate students. The Institute does not run a formal internship program, though many students work in Whitehead labs through MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program and graduate program in biology.

Spring Lecture Series for High School Students

Whitehead offers high school students an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge topics in biomedical research through a lecture series each spring during the April vacation week.

Biology Week

Biology Week is a web-based publication that allows readers to access a simple URL to view up-to-date listings of biology seminars and symposia in the Boston/Cambridge area.
