Actively Recruiting Undergraduate Students
Contact the PI to schedule an interview!
The newly established lab is looking for prospective undergraduate students to contribute to pilot investigations. The lab aims to decode the intricate molecular landscapes that shape cell biology and disease by leveraging bioinformatics methods and computational algorithms to integrate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data. The lab is also interested in investigating the current landscape of biotechnologies and biomedicines, offering research opportunities in market analysis and communication. See the Projects page for more information.
Students interested in pursuing a research opportunity must send a one-page letter describing their background in molecular biology and/or computer science, career goals and aspirations, and how RNA biology and bioinformatics fits into your agenda. Students may also opt to send their Resume and/or Curriculum Vitae for evaluation and consideration.
Importantly, RIVERA Initiatives Inc. is mentoring undergraduate students as part of the Puerto Rico Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP) (https://prlsamp.upr.edu/), a program of the University of Puerto Rico dedicated to STEM talent development.
