Pallas Chou
Pallas is a graduate student in Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University. Co-advised by Professor Nathanael Gray, Pallas is excited to use chemical biology techniques to understand the biological mechanisms behind cancer and use this knowledge to design and improve upon therapeutics. Prior to Stanford, Pallas graduated from Harvard College in 2023 where she studied chemical and physical biology with a secondary in government. She worked in the lab of Emily Balskus where she studied the biosynthesis of a natural product. Additionally, she engineered fungi to produce enzymes for biofuel production in the lab of Steven Singer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Grateful for the mentorship she has received, Pallas is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of scientists and shaping meaningful policies that make education and science more accessible.
