Richard Young is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a core member of the Whitehead Institute. His research focuses on understanding how gene expression differs between healthy and diseased cells. He utilizes experimental and computational technologies to determine the key signaling pathways, transcription factors, and chromatin regulators, as well as the roles of small RNAs in regulating gene expression. His interests encompass the fundamental molecular mechanisms of gene control and drug development, especially in relation to cancer and diseases caused by gene misregulation.
