William H. Kinsey Biography
Dr. William “Bill” H. Kinsey was a Professor of Cell Biology and Physiology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Dr. Kinsey received his PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Bill moved to the University of Miami in Florida in 1980 and remained there until his move to KUMC in 1991. Dr. Kinsey was both an outstanding researcher and educator, making seminal contributions to the field of gamete biology and sperm-oocyte signaling while also being one of few faculty who spent countless hours in Anatomy lab with first and second year medical students.
