Seminar: Identification of protein (mis)folding modulators through directed evolution

Tina Wang is a native of Rochester, NY, and received her B.S. in chemistry at Caltech, where she worked in the labs of Robert Grubbs and the late John D. Roberts. She completed her Ph.D. at Yale University with David A. Spiegel, where she developed chemical tools to study protein glycation. She then joined David R. Liu’s lab at the Broad Institute for her postdoctoral studies, where she worked on developing phage-assisted continuous evolution methods for evolving proteins with improved soluble expression. Tina joined the Department of Chemistry at UW–Madison in the fall of 2019. In her spare time, Tina enjoys crossword puzzles and playing the guitar.
