Biography:
Dr. Keshia Pitt received her undergraduate degree in biology from St. John’s University in Queens, New York and her doctorate from Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. Her dissertation research in Dr. Makoto Senoo’s lab characterized a novel splice variant of the transcription factor p63 that leads to precancerous hyperproliferation of epithelial stem cells.
