Malcolm Whitman, Ph.D.

Malcolm Whitman, Ph.D., received his doctorate from Harvard University in 1985 while working on phosphatidylinositol kinases with Lew Cantley. After his postdoctoral studies with Doug Melton studying signaling in embryogenesis, also at Harvard, he joined the Cell Biology faculty at Harvard Medical School in 1992. In 2007, he became a Professor of Developmental Biology at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

The Whitman lab is interested in how signals are transduced into highly specific biological responses during embryogenesis, during physiological responses of an organism to stress or damage,  and  during the development of various disease pathologies.
