Kristine M. Wadosky

I completed a B.S. in Molecular Genetics and a B.A. in English/Theater at the University of Rochester in 2009 and my PhD graduate training in Pathology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. For additional training, I have been carrying out postdoctoral research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center since 2015, studying advanced prostate cancer. Specifically, I am interested in how epigenetic changes drive the transition between adenocarcinoma/treatable and neuroendocrine/endstage prostate cancer. I use prostate cancer organoids extensively in my ongoing research projects. Being a first-generation student, I am dedicated to community outreach—especially in teaching students about opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
