DESCRIPTION:Marcia C. Haigis\nA Lola and John Grace Distinguished Lecture 
 in Cancer Research\n\nMarcia C. Haigis - Professor in the Department of Ce
 ll Biology at Harvard Medical School in Boston\, MA\,  a member of the Pa
 ul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging & the Ludwig  Center at Harva
 rd Medical School\, USA\n\nMarcia C. Haigis\, Ph.D. obtained her Ph.D. in 
 Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin in 2002 and performed postdo
 ctoral studies at MIT studying mitochondrial metabolism. In 2006\, Dr. Hai
 gis joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School\, where she is currently 
 a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology. Dr. Haigis is an active mem
 ber of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging\, a member of the
  Ludwig Center at Harvard Medical School\, and was recently selected for t
 he National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Pr
 ogram.\n\nThe Haigis Lab aims to: 1) identify molecular mechanisms by whic
 h mitochondria respond to cellular stress and 2) elucidate how these cellu
 lar mechanisms contribute to aging and age-related diseases\, such as canc
 er. The Haigis lab has made key contributions to our understanding of meta
 bolic reprogramming in cancer\, including identifying nodes of metabolic v
 ulnerability in the control of fat oxidation in leukemia and metabolic rec
 ycling of ammonia to generate amino acids important for tumor growth.\n\n
