My
experience with McNair I was
motivated to participate in McNair Program because I want to complete a
PhD in Microbiology and obtain a research position at the graduated level,
and this program helps me in all related aspects with application to
a graduate school.

Student Researcher
I worked on a project titled: A Radiation Induced
Carcinogenesis Mathematical Model for Space Radiation.
We developed and solved in a closed
form a carcinogenesis mathematical model with n mutations and
parameters, characterizing an equal number of different biological
processes arising when a stem cell population is continuously
irradiated with high-LET HZE radiation.
The results were presented in:
-
PRSGC

Education Projects in Puerto Rico

MBRS-RISE Program Researcher
I worked on a project titled: Expression of Green Fluorescent
Protein Mutants in Microinjected Eggs of Pink Convict Cichlids: A
Feasibility Study. In order to develop this new model we
conducted feasibility studies in which three different mutant forms of
GFP including a blue and red variant were microinjected into
fertilized eggs of Pink Convict Cichlids and Zebra Fish for
comparison. GFP is used as a genetic marker in transgenic fishes. |
