Gautier Lab:Lily Wang

Lily Wang


Medical Student, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University

PhD, Columbia University Integrated graduate program in cellular, molecular, structural, and genetic studies

B.S., Brown University 

Lily Wang started the MD-PhD program at Columbia University in 2003. She rotated with in the Gautier lab in the summer of 2003 and finally joined the lab in the summer of 2005 after completing the first 2 years of medical school at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Lily is studying the role of Fanconi anemia proteins in DNA replication and repair. Lily graduated from Brown University in 2002 with a B.S. in Biophysics. Her undergraduate research in the lab of John Sedivy focused on Raf-1 kinase. From 2002-2003, Lily studied the Ret tyrosine kinase at the University of Bologna, Italy on a Fulbright Fellowship.

Conferences attended: Oral presentation at the Twentieth Annual Fanconi Anemia Scientific Symposium Poster presentation at the Maintenance of Genome Stability Conference 2008 Oral presentation at the Nineteenth Annual Fanconi Anemia Scientific Symposium Oral presentation at the Eighteenth Annual Fanconi Anemia Scientific Symposium
