Miriam Greenberg is a Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences at Wayne State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She leads the Greenberg Lab, focusing on lipid metabolism, mitochondrial biology, and their roles in diseases like cardiovascular disorders and Barth syndrome. Her work combines yeast genetics with mammalian cell studies to elucidate lipid pathways.
Education: B.A. in Biology (Reed College, 1972); M.S. in Microbiology (Loyola University, 1975); Ph.D. in Genetics (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1980); Postdoc in Molecular Biology (Harvard University, 1985).
Research interests include cardiolipin's mitochondrial functions, inositol phospholipid regulation, and therapeutic mechanisms of valproate. Her lab has trained 29 Ph.D. students, emphasizing independent research and professional development.
Publications reflect a focus on lipid signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic diseases. Awards include WSU Academy of Scholars Inductee (2018) and multiple NIH grants targeting cardiolipin and inositol pathways.
Teaching includes courses on membrane biology, mitochondrial disease, and genetic analysis. She co-founded the Lipids@Wayne initiative, fostering interdisciplinary lipid research.
