Angelina Chan is a 2025 Marshall Scholar and a 2023 Goldwater Scholar. After starting college at 16 years old, she graduated from Stanford University with a M.S. in Biology (2025) and a B.S. with Honors and Distinction in Human Biology and minors in Chemistry and English (2024, Phi Beta Kappa). She received the J.E. Wallace Sterling Award for Scholastic Achievement as one of the top 25 students in her graduating class.

During her DPhil, she plans to study how chemical and synthetic biology methods can be used to create and modify new genomic functions, expanding on her prior genetics research experience which includes her honors thesis on coevolved adaptation to K1 killer toxin in budding yeast, to her master’s degree studying epigenetic regulation of the human centromere.

Outside of academics, Angelina is an avid harpist and loves to read/watch sci-fi and analyse English literature.
