Dr. Ten Hagen received her B.S. (magna cum laude) from Cornell University and Ph.D. in Genetics from Stanford University in the laboratory of Dr. Stanley Cohen.
After obtaining her Ph.D., she worked as a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester.
She moved to the NIH in 2001 and was promoted to Senior Investigator and Chief of the Developmental Glycobiology Section within the NIDCR in 2012.
She is very active in the NIH community, previously serving on the Tenure Track Investigators Committee, NIDCR IRP Review Committee, NIH Inquiry Committee,
and currently serving on the NIDCR Promotion and Tenure Committee, the NIH Women Scientist Advisors Committee,
the NIH Developmental Biology Scientific Interest Group Steering Committee, the Clinical Research Fellows Selection Committee,
the Glycobiology Special Interest Group Steering Committee, the NIH Anti-Harassment Steering Committee and the NIH Central Tenure Committee.
She has taught in the Special Topics in Glycosciences Course at the NIH and has co-chaired the annual NIH/FDA Glycosciences Research Day.
She is active outside of the NIH in the biochemistry/glycobiology fields.
She served as an Editorial Board Member for the Journal of Biological Chemistry, as a Board Member for the Society for Glycobiology, and as a Representative to the International Glycoconjugate Organization.
She currently serves on the Editorial Board for the journal Glycobiology and as an ASBMB Council member.
The research of her laboratory focuses on elucidating the biological roles of the conserved post-translational modification,
mucin-type O-glycosylation, to understand how aberrations in this modification contribute to disease and disease susceptibility.
