Haley Manchester was born in Providence, RI. In 2012, she graduated summa cum laude from Bates College with a B.S. in Biological Chemistry and minor in mathematics. During her time at Bates, she sang soprano in an all-female a capella group and studied traditional medicine in China and Vietnam for a semester. She first discovered her love of research after interning in a lab that developed small molecule inhibitors for Yersinia pestis, the bacteria behind the bubonic plague. After graduating from Bates, she worked as a research associate at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute examining the role of a chromatin remodeling complex in cancer. She joined Dr. Karen Cichowski's lab in 2015 to study novel therapies for melanoma that target signaling pathways and important epigenetic regulators.
