She became the chief of the Neuroendocrine unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, studying hormones and neuroendocrinology with a focus in pituitary tumors.[5] In 1997, Klibanski became the first woman from Mass General's Department of Medicine to become a professor of medicine at Harvard.[6][7] In 2012, she became Chief Academic Officer at Partners HealthCare System. After being named interim president and chief executive officer in February 2019,[8] she was appointed president and CEO in June 2019, becoming the first woman to lead Massachusetts's largest private employer.[9][10]
