Biography
Charles L. White, III, M.D., is Professor of Pathology and has been the Director of the Division of Neuropathology at UT Southwestern since completing his residency and fellowship training in anatomic pathology and neuropathology at Johns Hopkins in 1983. Dr. White’s clinical and research interests focus on neurodegenerative brain disorders. He has been the director of the Neuropathology Core of the UT Southwestern Alzheimer Disease Center, funded by the National Institute on Aging, since its inception in 1988. He also directs the Winspear Family Center for Research on the Neuropathology of Alzheimer Disease, established at UT Southwestern in 2002 by a generous gift from the William and Margot Winspear Family. The Center invests in cutting-edge technology to pursue investigations of cytoskeletal defects and synaptic pathology in Alzheimer disease and related conditions, and also focuses on the translation of results of research studies into the development of clinical tests for patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. White also serves as the faculty director of the Pathology Immunohistochemistry Laboratory, a core facility that provides a wide range of immunohistochemical staining services for campus physicians and investigators as well as for a number of off-campus clients and collaborators around the US for diagnostic and research studies. Dr. White is the Training Director for the Neuropathology Fellowship program at UT Southwestern, an ACGME-accredited, 2-year training program. Twelve trainees have completed the program and become board certified by the American Board of Pathology in the specialty of Neuropathology. Dr. White is president-elect of the American Association of Neuropathologists; his term commences in 2012.
