Research: Paleoparasitology: Parasite Diversity in Pre-Columbian Coprolites
In collaboration with archaeologist from the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras, the study of parasite ancient DNA in two Puerto Rican indigenous cultures known as the Huecoid and Saladoid, based on metagenomic extraction and sequencing of coprolites to analyze parasitic diversity in both cultures.

Daniela Vargas Robles
Hello to all! My name is Daniela Vargas Robles, I am Venezuelan and I am a Graduate PhD Student from the Biology program in UPRrp. I love microbiology! I will be doing my research in the Amazon forest describing Amerindian microbiome and its structure variance when women are infected with cervical Human Papilloma Virus. A very interesting field!

Soraya Abdul-Hadi
Hi to all! I am in my last year as an undergraduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, and I wish to become an MD. I have realized that it is possible for the discoveries at the bench to lead to tangible improvements in patient care, and that it is the unique role of the physician; to bridge the gap between scientific research and health care. I want to help transform medicine with global health innovations in the shape of new diagnostics, drugs, and/or vaccines to address unmet clinical needs.

I'm a master student, currently in my fourth semester. I work at Riccardo Papa's lab on the Genomics of eyespot number variation in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana. Essentially, we are using a genome wide approach to determine the genetic architecture underlying eyespot variation, focusing primarily in dorsal hindwing eyespot number variation.

Luz M. Serrato Diaz. MSc. PhD. Student
Research: Plant Genomics, Fungal Genomics, Molecular Biology.
Currently in my second year of doctoral studies at Dr. Bayman’s Lab. My research is focused on studying angular leaf spot (ALS) in common bean and to evaluate genetic response of common bean populations to ALS in order to generate effective markers for marker assisted selection of resistance to ALS.
