         My research interests involve the integration of multidisciplinary areas of Proteomics, combinatorial chemistry, functional genomics and bioinformatics to study toxins from microorganism with clinical and industrial relevance. These include the develop of biomarkers to detect toxins, or toxin producing microorganism in different environments. We are currently mapping protein-protein interactions of different targets using Phage Display as a molecular tool. The phage display technology is based on the surface expression of the peptide sequences fused with phage capsid protein and can be used to study proteins in a structural and functional level.  My biggest dream is to pursue a graduate degree in the areas of molecular biology and biotechnology. After completing my graduate studies I would like to return to the University of Puerto Rico to design a new program of Molecular Toxicology to study different microorganisms that affect Puerto Rico and the Caribbean
