Dr. Wing-Hang Tong obtained her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she studied the mechanism of the assembly of the tyrosyl radical-diiron (III) cofactor of E. coli ribonucleotide reductase using biophysical methods. As a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), she worked on the functional characterization of genes involved in iron-sulfur protein biogenesis in mammalian cells. Dr. Tong went on to become a staff scientist and focused on the molecular basis of diseases associated with iron metabolism, iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, and metabolic signaling pathways, including hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) and Friedreich ataxia. After a full-time detail assignment at the NCI Technology Transfer Center, she joined CSR.
