Marcia C. Haigis, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of 
Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA and a member of the 
Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging. Following graduate 
training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Biochemistry, Dr. 
Haigis studied the molecular role of SIR2 (silent information regulator) 
proteins during her postdoctoral research in the Guarente Lab at MIT. 
She has contributed to understanding the role that mitochondrial 
sirtuins play in metabolism and disease. She has received a number of 
awards, including the Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar Award and 
the Brookdale Foundation Leadership in Aging Award.

*This career development seminar organized by the Postdoctoral 
Organization for Women Engaged in Research (POWER) at MIT will focus on 
the speaker’s personal experiences, insights into their current work, as 
well as work-life integration issues such as how to balance a successful 
career in science and technology and raise a family. We are hoping that 
the interactions will assist female postdocs in navigating their careers 
and will also help them building the professional connections to move on 
to the next level in their career. The professional and socio-cultural 
activities of POWER are open to the entire MIT community. POWER does not 
discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, 
sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic 
information, veteran status, ancestry, or national or ethnic origin. 
These events are advertised to the MIT postdoc community in general.
