Pharmaceutical Sciences, 3rd Year PhD Student

Hometown: Mayagüez, Puerto Rico

Education: B.S. Industrial Biotechnology, University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez

Research interests: My research interests are to create biomimetic models of the ovarian cancer microenvironment to explore factors that promote metastasis and progression, with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets. I am specifically interested in the role of adipocytes in the progression and metastasis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

Outside of lab interests: Outside of lab I enjoy walks, going to concerts, exploring restaurants in Madison, and going to spin classes.
