Marie Siwicki grew up in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania and graduated from Brown University in 2011, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology with honors. She spent three years at the National Institutes of Health, National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIH, NIAID), as a post-baccalaureate fellow with an Intramural Research Training Award. During her time at the NIH, she came to appreciate the powerful applications of immunology in biomedicine. At Harvard, Marie’s research centers on interrogating cancer biology through the lens of immunology. She joined the laboratory of Dr. Mikael Pittet in the Center for Systems Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital to study how under-appreciated facets of the tumor microenvironment influence anti-tumor immunity in. Her project focuses on characterization of tumor-associated neurons, and how they influence anti-tumor immunity. Ultimately, she is interested in how modulation of neuroimmune networks could be applied to optimize anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy.
