Abstract
ABSTRACT Kivanc Birsoy graduated in molecular genetics from Bilkent University, Turkey, and joined the laboratory of Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller University, New York City, for his PhD to work on transcriptional regulation and cell programming in adipogenesis. In 2010, Kivanc moved to the Whitehead Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, as a postdoctoral fellow with David Sabatini. There, he studied how cancer cells adapt their metabolism in nutrient-deprived environments, and the links between metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. Since January 2016, Kivanc has been an Assistant Professor and independent group leader at Rockefeller University. His research focuses on the metabolic pathway changes in cancer and metabolic dysfunction. Kivanc is the recipient of numerous awards such as the Pew-Stewart Scholar Award, Searle Scholar Award, AACR NextGen Award for Transformative Cancer Research, NIH Director's New Innovator Award and the Pershing Square Sohn Prize 2018.
