Event Details:
This collaborative seminar, a joint effort of the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience and the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research, marks the beginning of our 2024-2025 Seminar Series, comprising four engaging events.
To support our researchers' participation in this open science "lab-meeting style" exchange of ideas, these seminars are not streamed/recorded and are only open to members of the Stanford community.

Role of metabolites in cancer and aging
Marcia C. Haigis, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, a member of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging, and the Ludwig Center at Harvard Medical School. Following graduate training in Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Biochemistry, Dr. Haigis studied mitochondrial metabolism during her postdoctoral research at MIT. She has contributed to understanding the role that mitochondrial sirtuins play in metabolism and disease. She has received a number of honors, including the Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar Award, the Brookdale Foundation Leadership in Aging Award, and selection for the National Academy of Medicine's Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Program.
