Apoptosis is a prevalent and important cell fate during development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. The long-term goal of our research is to understand the regulation and execution of apoptosis, using the powerful genetic and molecular...

Kaylyn Williamson grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated in 2011 from Wellesley College with a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Chemistry with honors. Following college, she sought out extensive additional research experience in both academic and...

We study the molecular pathways that regulate T cell function in the tumor microenvironment, with an emphasis on developing novel mechanistic insights that lead to the development of the next generation of cancer immunotherapies. We integrate analysis of...
