Tanya is a 3rd year Biochemistry major at UCLA, interested in pursuing an MD-PhD. She joined the Conway Group in September 2024 and is working on the development of hypoxia-activated PROTACs (HAP-TACs). She transferred from UC Santa Cruz, where she conducted research under Prof. Scott Lokey in the field drug development, focusing on the synthesis of macrocycles and PROTACs. Outside of lab she loves spending time outdoors (especially in the ocean), exploring live music, and spending time with friends/family.
