Marcus Long studied undergraduate chemistry at Oxford University, where he was a winner of a Gibbs book prize and the Brian Banister Award for Organic Chemistry. He studied biochemistry at Brandeis University for his PhD on manipulating the ubiquitin pathways in the laboratory of Prof Liz Hedstrom as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Scholar. He performed postdoctoral work in the Aye laboratory in Cornell on chemical biology studying reactive lipid signaling in worms and zebrafish. He moved on to work on the role of ubiquitin in immune signaling in the Thome Laboratory at the University of Lausanne. There he was a Novartis Fellow and discovered novel uses of ubiquitin chains to recruit protease substrates. He is now a visiting fellow in the Department of Pharmacology in Oxford, and a senior postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry studying reactive lipid signaling and its role in health and disease. He has a Hirsch index of 54, and has published on a wide range of different areas in his career.
