Personal Statement
I am your best unorthodox choice, I have vast experience in many levels of both research and health care. While my background and academics represent a bigger challenge than usual, when the time comes for you to decide whether to welcome me into your community, I can assure you that I am an excellent fit with a new perspective. I have always had strong interest in studying nature at both the microscopic level, and the large scale of the extended universe, astronomy and biochemistry were always my subjects of choice growing up.
Most of my life I have seek to be a research scientist, having attended high school overseas, in the Dominican Republic, the concept of a Doctor of Philosophy was foreign to me; back then I only saw becoming a physician as the solution to pursue my academic and research …show more content…
My CV attached to this application will further detail my experiences and responsibilities in that period. I was able to transition into the world of pre-clinical in-vivo research as a research associate at Toxikon Corp, and here I was exposed a large number of research studies including drug development, safety and toxicology, wound healing, medical device efficiency and compatibility among others. Most recently I joined Harvard Medical School research community as a member of the Wyss Institute for Biological Inspired Engineering, at the Wyss I work primarily with the biomimetic microsystems, and immuno-materials platforms (Former programmable nanomaterials). This work has given me a new perspective in what is possible today to change modern medical research. The principal project I support is developing and infectious vaccine construct, with multi-pathogen applications, and the potential to serve as a vector for ring vaccination in the event of major
