Seeing education as a key to helping his family overcome their socioeconomic situation, Tuang entered high school in the US as a junior, fully determined to succeed. With the mentorship of his ESL teacher, Ms. Jacquelyn Gomez, who instilled in him the belief that he could realize any dream in America despite his background, he was accepted to MIT with full financial aid.
At MIT, Tuang developed an interest in chemistry and conducted research in bioinorganic chemistry and systems biology as an Amgen scholar. He worked in the lab of Dr. Stephen Lippard at MIT and the lab of Dr. Ralph Weissleder at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Having benefited from service projects during his childhood in Myanmar, Tuang sought to implement community-centered service projects around the world. He served as the president of MIT’s International Development House (iHouse) and developed a passion for teaching, serving as a teaching assistant for two undergraduate classes and received the Frederick D. Greene Teaching award. During his senior year, he was awarded the Albert G. Hill Prize and was featured on the MIT homepage.
In 2014, after receiving his BS from MIT, Tuang became a United States citizen. Tuang is now pursing an MD in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology medical program, and a PhD in chemistry at MIT. He is currently working in Dr. Bradley Pentelute’s laboratory. Tuang hopes to combine his chemistry expertise and medical knowledge to treat infectious diseases and neglected tropical diseases. He is guided by his faith to apply his training to help others. “Every day, I go back to the same Bible verse, Philippians 4:13,” he says. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
