Bio
Dr. Finley is an Assistant Member in the Cell Biology Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and an Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medical College. Her lab studies the links between metabolism and cell fate regulation in both normal stem cells and in cancer cells. She aims to identify the metabolic networks that sustain proliferation of pluripotent stem cells as they navigate entry and exit from the pluripotent state, and to determine whether metabolic interventions provide a novel mechanism to facilitate the generation of cells with defined pluripotency. Dr. Finley completed her PhD at Harvard Medical School and her postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
