Priscilla Z. Perez, Christina Vo and Chloe Naquin, who have been working on various research projects under the mentorship of Molecular Center researchers.

Summer is the season of vacation, beach, sun and sand... for some people, but for others it is the perfect time to advance their goals. Priscilla, Chloe and Christina, have taken advantage of this summer season and turned it into the ideal period to get closer to their professional dreams.

And in this eagerness, the Molecular Center-UPR houses the aspirations of these three university students who, after emerging victorious from a shortlist of some 300 applicants, will now define their professional path in pharmacology.

The nine-week internship is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program focused on Molecular Aspects of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MAPS), and is attached to the School of Pharmacy of the UPR-Medical Sciences Campus.
