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
