My name is Angelie Rivera-Rodríguez, a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering in the University of Florida. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Industrial Biotechnology from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez and I started to do research in the Chemical Engineering Department. Also, I went to the University of Wisconsin as a summer research intern and I was a MARC fellow during my senior year. After a lot of effort I was granted with the NSF fellowship to continue graduate studies.
