Lynn Wong

Wei-Lynn Wong (Lynn) is originally from Canada. She went to the University of Guelph for her Bachelors of Science, participating in the co-operative program. Her PhD was completed at the University of Toronto at the Princess Margaret (PM) Cancer Centre (previously known as the Ontario Cancer Institute). She relocated to Melbourne, Australia for her postdoctoral years at the Walter + Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and LaTrobe University. Her scientific career has been anything but linear. She was a group leader turned Asst Prof in Institute of Experimental Immunology and now calls the Department of Molecular Life Sciences at the University of Zurich home.

Beyond her scientific career, Lynn is a sports enthusiast, having competed in Ironman, triathlons and multiple running races. Now she keeps up with her two young sons and is learning tennis.
