Mancy Tong

This week, we are featuring the portrait of Mancy Tong, a third year postdoc at the Yale School of Medicine where she studies how the maternal immune system responds to infection and potentially causes pre-term birth. Mancy was born in Hong Kong, grew up in New Zealand, and came to New Haven three years ago.

“During my time here, I have learned a lot and really enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life. During this challenging time, my thoughts are with my friends and family from all around the world and I want to tell them: “Kia Kaha” - Stay safe, stay strong, we will all get through this together.”
