She holds a BS in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology from UCLA and a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology from Harvard University.
Her work explores:
- Metabolic control of hair follicle stem cell homeostasis
- Nutrient regulation in cancer progression
- Warburg effect and tumor metabolism
- Stem cell metabolic reprogramming
- Role of metabolic enzymes in disease
Recent publications highlight metabolic heterogeneity in humans, viral-metabolism interactions, and tumor metabolic dependencies. She has received NIH funding for projects on cancer metabolism and stem cell dynamics.
Christofk is a co-investigator on NIH R01AR070245 and principal investigator on NIH R01CA215185 and DP2OD008454. She collaborates extensively with researchers in cancer biology, developmental biology, and metabolic diseases.
