Kristine earned her BS in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During that time she spent a summer in the red tide phytoplankton lab of Dr. Donald Anderson, PhD, at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute located on Cape Cod. Following graduation from MIT, she spent two years as a technician in the lab of Dr. David Relman, MD, at Stanford University identifying unrecognizable pathogens. She then entered graduate school at the University of California, San Diego, and joined the lab of Dr. Rick Bushman, PhD, at the Salk Institute studying HIV integration. Her postdoctoral studies continued to explore the relationship of host DNA repair proteins and retroviral cDNA metabolism at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia with Dr. Carlo Croce, MD, and Dr. Richard Fishel, PhD. These groups later moved to The Ohio State University College of Medicine where she was promoted to Assistant Professor in the department of Molecular Virology, Immunology, and Medical Genetics (MVIMG) in 2012. The department was renamed Cancer Biology and Genetics (CBG) in 2016. She was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2020.
