Priscilla Cheung was born in San Francisco, California. When she first learned in high school how scientific research can lead to the development of drugs that can cure human diseases, such as Herceptin for breast cancer, she became inspired to study mechanistic cancer biology in college. In 2014, she graduated from UC Berkeley with Honors and Distinction, receiving a Bachelors of Arts in Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB). In addition to her coursework and research at Berkeley, she mentored young children at a local science museum and served as president of a MCB department sponsored student group. Now at Harvard, she is studying mechanisms underlying the development of colorectal cancer in the lab of Professor Fernando Camargo.
