Victoria R. Tenge
Victoria R. Tenge, Ph.D., brings 15 years of experience in life sciences. Victoria utilizes her knowledge in biomedical sciences to assist clients in many different life sciences spaces including: antibody therapies, genetic engineering, gene therapies, RNA-based therapies, peptide therapies, organoids, and cell therapies.
Victoria’s scientific background spans several biomedical research fields including molecular virology, microbiology, biochemistry, intestinal biology, use of 3D and 2D stem cell organoid technologies, and translational research. Her technical experience also includes the use of genetic and biochemical techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9- and transposon-based genetic manipulation of organoids and the use of yeast-based systems for the study of protein-protein interactions. She received her Ph.D. in Molecular Virology and Microbiology from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where her Ph.D. and postdoctoral work focused on the role of bile acids in human norovirus replication in the small intestine and the breakthrough development of a laboratory cultivation system for human norovirus.
In her free time, Victoria is an avid runner. Originally from Seattle, she is a huge Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders fan. You can find her at run club, on hikes in the San Francisco Bay Area, and at Oracle Park catching a ball game.
