Michelle Tang

Michelle is a graduate student in the department of Chemical & Systems Biology also being jointly advised by Dr. Nathanael Gray. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in the fall of 2021 with a B.A. in Molecular & Cell Biology. Her undergraduate work under Dr. Daniel Nomura focused on the discovery of covalent inhibitors against the glutathione synthesis enzyme glutamate-cysteine ligase for cancer therapy. Michelle is excited to bridge the strengths of the Corsello Lab and the Gray Lab to develop novel therapeutic strategies for cancer and to uncover the mechanisms of action for small molecules that exhibit unexpected anti-cancer activity.
