Research in the White Lab focuses on high-resolution, quantitative characterization of intracellular proteome dynamics regulating normal and pathophysiological processes, with the ultimate goal of defining novel therapeutic targets and therapeutic combinations. To this end, we use mass spectrometry to profile the dynamics of protein phosphorylation and antigen presentation in model systems of human disease, especially cancer, and in primary human tissues.

The White Lab is committed to the success of all trainees at all levels. We actively welcome undergraduate students to participate in summer or semesterly internships, as well as graduate students and post-docs to apply. Please reach out to us directly, or apply to programs like MSRP and EXROP (for non-MIT undergrads), BE, CSB, and HST (for prospective grad students). Research should be a fun, exciting, and meaningful adventure facilitated by collegial teamwork, mutual respect, and thoughtful consideration.
