It’s been 4 years since I discovered my passion for biomedicine. Today I see the results of my hard work by officially becoming a GRAD-STUDENT! I’m just as motivated as I was at my 1st research internship - looking forward to becoming my best self. 🙏🏽
PhD defense tomorrow for Kia Perez-Vale from @peiferlabunc!
It has been amazing having @UNCPREP scholar @KateGiffin in our lab. Excited to see all she will accomplish in grad school @umichmedicine! We miss you already.
So proud of these @UNCPREP scholars. They collectively faced the most adversity of any previous PREP group and somehow found a way to thrive. Best of luck to them as they all head to grad school! #uncprep11
It’s been a year! Tomorrow I’ll be giving a short talk at @UNCPREP’s Research Symposium. If you’re at UNC, I invite you to take a break from work and walk into MBRB G202 (masked and vaccinated) any time from 9:30am to noon ET. It’ll be transmitted on zoom - ask me for the link!
Thanks @AcklandArt for having our @UNCPREP scholars this week. So awesome to share a physical space together!
Thrilled to see my better half's first first-author research paper in bioRxiv. Many years of hard work and superb mentoring by @peiferlabunc are paying off. This is just the beginning... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our cohort can withstand anything. We are family. Everyone is heading to Ph.D. programs across the nation this fall. We did it. #PandemicPostbac #Biosciences #Diversity #UNCPREP #NIHPREP
I am honored to announce that I have decided to join @WUSTL @WUSTLmed's Ph.D. program in Neuroscience 🧠. I am eternally grateful to my mentors @JoseRodRoma, @AzadBonni and others for their passion in Science and for the transformative mentoring I received. #PuertoRicansInSTEM
I’m going to be a PhD scientist!! It thrills me to share with you all that I decided to join @BCMB_JHMI Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine #EstoyEnMiPeak #PuertoRicansInSTEM
Thank you @mikelove @jdhallphd @UNCPREP. It was a great opportunity to be a part of #ABRCMS2020
