Sobre Mi:
I will be a junior in the fall in the University of Puerto Rico in Humacao. My major is Microbiology but I will like to direct my graduate studies toward cancer research. I would like to get a Ph.D. and I am working hard to get to that goal. I am very interested in what is going on in the Science community in PR and around the world. One of my major interest is stem cell research. This summer I am in a REU Molecular Biology and Genetics program in the University of Indiana in Bloomington.
Información de proyecto:
In my REU project I am working with the regulation of complementary chromatic adaptation in cyanobacterias and sulfur deprivation in the same organism and how this affects their metabolism and their reactions in given enviroments.
In my home institution I am working with the development of mangrove plantules, Rhizophora mangle, in a forest in the south of the island. We also consider how enviromental factors affect the mangrove and plantule growth and development.
