Research summary
AI-generated

Whitney R. Smith-Kinnaman works in biochemistry and molecular biology, studying how genes are read and regulated at the level of RNA and DNA packaging (chromatin). Recent work also touches on cancer biology, including how signaling changes in lung cancer cells drive tumor progression. The research spans gene regulation, RNA processing, and chemical modifications to DNA and RNA.
