Laura C. Ben\u00edtez Montalvo<\/strong> is a rising junior at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico \u2013 Ponce Campus<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>majoring in Biomedical Sciences, with a minor in Biology. She is interested in pursuing a PhD in cellular-molecular biology and the development of biopharmaceuticals and immunotherapies. This summer, she is working with Dr. Esther A. Peterson-Peguero on the characterization of the role of estrogen in inflammatory breast cancer\u2019s molecular signature and its differential gene expression profiles through bioinformatics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebasti\u00e1n J. Borrero VIllabol <\/strong>is a rising senior at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayag\u00fcez<\/strong><\/em>, where he is majoring in Industrial Microbiology. Sebasti\u00e1n has great interest in bioinformatics and genomics research, and will pursue a PhD in bioinformatics. This summer, he worked under the mentorship of Dr. Jos\u00e9 Arcadio Rodr\u00edguez, to adapt gapped k-mer Support Vector Machines to build a DNA-binding specificity model capable of scoring all possible DNA sequences for the transcription factor NKX2-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jahlisse Bruton<\/strong> is a rising junior at Boston University<\/em><\/strong> studying biology. She hopes to incorporate both fieldwork and wet lab work into her future career. This summer, she is working with Garc\u00eda-Arrar\u00e1s to discover if a gene that codes for an insulin-like peptide is found in Holothuria glaberrima<\/em>, and the conditions that might surround its increased or decreased level of expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Courtney…COMING SOON!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luis de Pablo<\/strong> is a senior at Amherst College<\/strong><\/em> doing a double major in Biology and Music with a certificate in Coastal and Marine Sciences. Luis is interested in applying computer vision to the study of coastal ecosystems. This summer, he is working with Dr. Carla Restrepo using remotely sensed imagery to investigate lithology in the Sierra de Las Minas mountain range in Guatemala. Luis aims to create lithological maps for this previously poorly-mapped region, with the ultimate goal of predicting landslide risk factors. In his free time, Luis enjoys playing soccer and tennis and playing guitar and piano with his band.
