Kristi Wharton is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, and Biochemistry at Brown University. She earned her A.B. in Biology from Cornell University in 1978 and her Ph.D. in Biology from Yale University in 1986. Wharton's research focuses on cell-cell communication and the molecular mechanisms underlying cell signaling in developmental biology. She has received numerous awards for her research, including NIH NRSA Training grant and the Elizabeth H. Leduc Award for Excellence in Teaching in Life Sciences. Her work also delves into the complexities of developmental processes and signaling pathways, particularly in relation to conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). She has a strong commitment to teaching, having developed various courses in developmental biology, integrating digital technology to enhance student learning and engagement.
