Louise Tsi Chow (Chinese: 周芷; pinyin: Zhōu Zhǐ) is a Taiwanese biochemist and molecular geneticist. She is a professor of biochemistry and molecular genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a foreign associate with the National Academy of Sciences, known for her research on the human papillomavirus. Her research contributed to the discovery of gene splicing, and in 1993, her collaborator, Richard J. Roberts, received the Nobel Prize for the research, leading some to assert that Chow should have received the honor as well.
