Saad, a researcher in the lab of Whitehead Institute Member Peter Reddien, is one of 10 postdoctoral fellows from across Latin America to receive two years of funding to conduct research. Her investigations focus on the mechanisms that govern regeneration in the shell-less mollusk Berghia stephanieae, which she is working to establish as a novel model for gaining insights into the principles of regeneration. Saad is the second Whitehead Institute researcher to have been named a Pew Latin American Fellow in recent years.
