 I am originally from Panama but grew up in Fayetteville, NC.  I went to undergrad at N.C. State University and completed my B.S. in Microbiology.  After graduation, I worked at Syngenta where I did some research looking at herbicide tolerance in plants.  I left Syngenta to pursue a position at Merck Pharmaceuticals where I investigated the cytotoxic effects of clinical compounds.  I left Merck in July 2006 to pursue my graduate degree at UNC in the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences Program.  After several rotations, I joined the laboratory of Dr. C. Ryan Miller where we study the cell signaling pathways and protein profiles that lead to proliferation and invasion of astrocytomas.
