I was
born and raised primarily in El Paso, Texas, though I spent many
years growing up in Zacatecas, Mexico. My undergraduate studies
were at the University of Texas, where I majored in Organic
Chemistry, and presently I am in the School of Medicine in the
department of Biomedical Sciences. My interest is in applied
science, and for this reason I have worked in the College of
Pharmacy studying Pharmaceutics under Dr. Hugh Smyth. Our overall
research goal is to enhance the delivery and efficacy of current FDA
approved therapeutics for the treatment of lung cancer and cystic
fibrosis. Hopefully, the joint programs of IGERT and Biomedical
Sciences will grant me the background necessary to be able to
translate the technological advancements of nanoscience into
applications that can have an immediate and beneficial impact on the
quality of life of the unfortunate men, women, and children
suffering from these disorders. |
