Tom Skipper

Wang lab

Tom is originally from England and moved to Connecticut as a child. He graduated from Brown University in 2019 with a degree in biomedical engineering. Subsequent research focused on preclinical validation of new cancer targets at the Broad Institute. He is currently a third-year MD-PhD student in the Wang lab interested in cancer epigenetics and its application to precision medicine. When not at the bench or in the books, he enjoys reading, discovering new music, and anything that gets him outside including trail running, soccer, skiing, biking, and backpacking.
