معرفی
Marcia Haigis is a Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School and a Tutor in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. She leads the Haigis Lab, focusing on mitochondrial metabolism, aging, and cancer, while co-directing the Bertarelli Rare Cancer Fund.
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin (2002)
- Postdoctoral research at MIT
Her research explores mitochondrial responses to cellular stress, metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer, and aging-related mechanisms. Key areas include sirtuins, lipid homeostasis, one-carbon metabolism, and immune-metabolic interactions.
Recent work spans metabolic liabilities in lung cancer, immunometabolism, and nutrient signaling in tumor microenvironments. Notable grants include NIH R01CA273461 (Sirtuins and Cancer) and R01DK127278 (PHD3 in lipid metabolism).
Scientific awards include the National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Program. Her lab collaborates with institutions like the Paul F. Glenn Center for Aging Biology and Ludwig Center at HMS.
