Christina D. King, PhD (she/her/hers)

Scientist
Buck Institute for Research on Aging
Novato, California, United States

Dr. Christina King is an early career scientist in the Schilling Lab (Professor Birgit Schilling) and Associate Director of the Mass Spectrometry Center and Proteomics Core at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. She received her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) in December 2018 and carried out post-doctoral studies at Vanderbilt University. Under the direction of Professor Renã A. S. Robinson, Christina learned how to apply novel proteomics strategies to answer biological questions related to aging and age-related diseases. She became an expert in proteomic analysis, method optimization, and instrument maintenance.
At the Buck Institute, Christina is involved in projects that are related to aging. Specifically, she is interested in understanding healthy aging, cellular senescence, reproductive aging, and neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease). She uses label-free quantitative proteomic strategies to obtain robust data to address aging-related biological questions. Outside of the laboratory, Christina is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers, HUPO, among others. She also volunteers at local science events in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco, CA, USA).
