Kaitlin J. Basham

Kaitlin J. Basham, PhD, is a researcher in the Department of Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah. Her work focuses on adrenal cancer, cellular senescence, and developmental biology using mouse models and Wnt pathway analysis.

• Postdoctoral Fellowship: University of Michigan (Endocrine Cancer)
• PhD: University of Utah
• BS: Saint Mary’s College of California

Her research explores:

• Adrenal cancer progression mechanisms
• Non-canonical Wnt signaling in endocrine tumors
• Senescence-induced immune remodeling
• Age-related changes in adrenal cortex
• Androgen receptor roles beyond prostate cancer
• Stem cell dynamics in adrenal physiology

Basham Lab at the Huntsman Cancer Institute emphasizes inclusive training environments and developing less toxic adrenal cancer therapies through collaborative research.
