Carolyn Nguyen : Churchill Scholarship
Carolyn Nguyen (’26, Molecular and Cell Biology/Business Administration) is passionate about advancing next-generation therapeutics. At UC Berkeley, she conducts research in the lab of Dr. James Nuñez, applying CRISPR-based technologies to modulate gene expression and develop targeted epigenome editing tools. As a Churchill Scholar, Carolyn will pursue an MPhil in Medical Science at the University of Cambridge, where she will study how the tumor microenvironment influences cancer progression and treatment response, with the goal of informing new therapeutic strategies. With a dual background in science and business, she is especially interested in bridging research and industry to translate scientific discoveries into accessible, real-world treatments.
