She currently sits on the board of directors at the California Life Sciences Association. Prior to Verge, she spent five years in the UCLA-Caltech MD\/PhD program and received her BA degree from Princeton University in Molecular Biology. Alice also is an angel investor and advisor for over 20 tech-enabled bio startups.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m grateful to Goldman Sachs to be recognized alongside such outstanding entrepreneurs that are working to make a positive impact on society in so many diverse areas,\u201d said Zhang. \u201cIt is exciting to see the new opportunities for growth and innovation created by these individuals who are shaping the futures of their industries.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to recognize Alice Zhang as one of the most exceptional entrepreneurs of 2022,\u201d said David M. Solomon, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. \u201cThey have made extraordinary contributions to a wide range of fields, and all of us are looking forward to meeting with these innovative thinkers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to honoring the most exceptional entrepreneurs, the Summit consists of general sessions and clinics led by seasoned entrepreneurs, academics and business leaders as well as resident scholars.\n<\/p>\n
