RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

University of Puerto Rico. Developmental Neurobiology Laboratory

Jan.2011-May 2012

Selected sea cucumbers (Holothuria glaberrima) from their natural habitats and

transferred to the artificial in the laboratory, from which transcriptomics,

bioinformatics & statistical expression models were applied as their

gastrointestinal system regenerated. The main focus was to find insights on

regenerative neurogenesis.

Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. Bioengineering Laboratory

Aug. 2016-Dec 2017

Studied the effect of Carbon-Base Graphene Quantum Dots (GQD's) in Vivo

and in Vitro, nanotechnology was met with bioengineering applying fluorescent

imaging in zebrafish and mice. Affinity towards certain organs and tissues

combined with low cytotoxicity makes a promising solution to harmful radiation

imaging.
