Alice Summer Tang

I am a bioengineer, data and machine learning scientist, and MD/PhD candidate at UCSF. My work focuses on leveraging large-scale clinical and multimodal data with computational methods to understand disease heterogeneity, predict patient outcomes, and uncover novel therapeutic insights. I am passionate about solving pressing challenges in medicine, particularly in dermatology, dementia, and women's health. My goal is to bridge the gap between data science, technological advances, and clinical practice to improve health care access, expand health literacy, and advance personalized medicine applications.
