Skip to main content People Meet the Principal Investigator Angelique Whitehurst, Ph.D. Angelique Whitehurst received her B.A. and B.S. in Chemistry and Biochemistry from Virginia Tech in 1997. She earned her Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology in the lab of Melanie Cobb at UT Southwestern. In her postdoctoral work with Michael White, Ph.D., she developed high-throughput RNAi screens to identify chemosensitizer loci in mammalian cells. Dr. Whitehurst began her independent career in 2009 at the

GABARAP recruits PI4KIIα to autophagosomes. Depletion of either GABARAP or PI4KIIα by siRNA, or overexpression of the dominant negative kinase-dead PI4KIIα, blocks autophagic flux by inhibiting autophagosome fusion with lysosomes to generate grossly enlarged autophagosomes.

We now want to know how gelsolin and gelsolin-like proteins behave in living cells. We are developing a fluorescence energy transfer reporter to monitor gelsolin activation in live cells.

The research focus in the Corbin lab investigates strategies that exploits the deviant metabolism of cancer cells (namely the reprogramming of lipid metabolism and altered redox biology) for therapeutic purposes.
