	Kevin P. White
	Kevin White is Associate Professor of Genetics at the Yale University School of Medicine. Among other awards he holds a W.M. Keck Young Investigatorship and an Arnold and Mabel Beckman Young Investigator Award. He gained a Ph.D. in Developmental Biology from the Stanford University School of Medicine in 1998 and was a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow at the Stanford Genome Technology Center under the direction of Ronald W. Davis from 1998-2000. From 2000-2005 Professor White has directed a research group at Yale. The White laboratory is interested in the role of transcriptional regulatory networks in disease, development and evolution. Particular focus in the laboratory is on the nuclear receptor class of transcription factors. As part of the RNAi global initiative, the White laboratory uses integrated genomics and bioinformatics approaches to identify novel molecules and pathway connections involved in cancers. Projects in the lab focus on the role of Estrogen Receptor in breast cancers, Androgen Receptor in prostate cancers and tissue-specific genomic responses to these transcription factors. The high throughput screening facility within the Department of Genetics will allow RNAi technology to be used by many other groups at Yale University.
