Kristin White is an Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her research focuses on apoptosis, a critical process in cell fate development and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. White aims to understand the regulation and execution of apoptosis using advanced genetic and molecular techniques, particularly in the Drosophila model system. She is interested in how apoptosis is regulated in vivo and its contributions to normal development. Her laboratory has identified a gene cluster in Drosophila that is essential for initiating apoptosis, which serves as a pivotal integration point for various signaling pathways that regulate apoptosis during development and in response to cellular stress. White's current work seeks to examine the interaction between signaling pathways and chromatin architecture in regulating cell death genes, with the expectation that insights gained will inform the manipulation of cell fate in disease treatment.
