Kristine Yoder, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the department of Cancer Biology and Genetics at the Ohio State University College of Medicine. She earned a BS in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD at the University of California, San Diego, studying retroviral integration at the Salk Institute. Her postdoctoral studies continued to explore the relationship of host DNA repair proteins and retroviral cDNA metabolism at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Her lab at OSU continues to study retroviral integration with biochemical and single molecule imaging techniques. She has also characterized HIV-1 resistance mutations that arise following treatment with CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of the viral genome.
