Marcia C. Haigis obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin in 2002, followed by postdoctoral studies at MIT focusing on mitochondrial metabolism. In 2006, she joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School as a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology. Dr. Haigis is an active member of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging and the Ludwig Center at Harvard Medical School. She has been selected as a member of the National Academy of Medicine's Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Program. Her lab's research aims to identify the molecular mechanisms by which mitochondria respond to cellular stress and to elucidate cellular mechanisms that contribute to aging and age-related diseases, including cancer. The Haigis Lab has made significant contributions to understanding metabolic reprogramming in cancer, notably identifying key metabolic vulnerabilities and the control of fat oxidation in leukemia, as well as the metabolic recycling of ammonia to generate amino acids important for tumor growth.
