Forest White is a Professor in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After receiving his Ph.D. from Florida State University in 1997 and completing a post-doc at the University of Virginia from 1997-1999, he joined MDS Proteomics as a Senior Research Scientist and developed phosphoproteomics capabilities for the company. In July 2003 he joined the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT. Research in the White lab is focused on quantification of protein phosphorylation-mediated signaling networks and MHC peptide presentation in normal and pathophysiological cell biology. Specific applications include novel drug target discovery in glioblastoma, melanoma, and triple negative breast cancer, as well as analysis of mechanisms underlying therapeutic resistance and metastasis. In addition to his appointment in the Department of Biological Engineering, Forest is a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.
