Elma Zaganjor, PhD

Elma received her Ph.D. at UT Southwestern, where she studied signaling pathways that promote proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancers. She is currently interested in the role of metabolism in cellular response to stress. Specifically, she is interested in how mitochondrial sirtuins regulate fat metabolism and contribute to pathology. Elma is supported by a postdoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association.
