We’ve been busy in the White lab since our last update. Two talented postdoctoral fellows: Ricardo Romero-Moreno and Keelan Trull joined the lab in September! Keelan is working on optogenetic tool development to manipulate pHi and Ricardo is working to understand how pHi dynamics shape the mutational landscape of cancers.

Review in Cancer Metastasis Reviews
Our review/prospective piece is out in Cancer Metastasis Reviews: Intracellular pH dynamics and charge-changing somatic mutations in cancer. Why does pHi matter in cancer progression and evolution? How are pHi and somatic mutations linked? Find out!
Julia joins the lab!
Good news! Julia has officially joined the White Lab! Julia is a first year graduate student in the IBMS program here at Notre Dame. She’ll be working on intracellular pH heterogeneity in spheroid models and extending this work to answer interesting questions about the potential predictive and diagnostic features of pH!
Welcome, Caitlin!
Our first graduate student started today! Welcome to Caitlin Donahue! Caitlin is a 2017 graduate of Roanoke College. She will be developing optogenetic tools for manipulating pH in real time. Learn more about Caitlin here!
Start Date Jan 2019!
The White Lab is scheduled to open in January 2019. Dr. White will be a Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. A 2007 graduate of Saint Mary’s College, Dr. White is happy to be returning to the ND-SMC community. Learn about Dr. White here and look for more updates coming soon!
Join!
The White Lab is seeking creative, enthusiastic, and collaborative scientists to join a multidisciplinary team. Trainees with backgrounds or interests in chemistry, cell biology, bioengineering, and bioinformatics are encouraged to apply. Go to Join for more information on how to apply.
