Hi , my name is Francisco Zayas, current student of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. I’ve been doind research August 2007 (my sophomore year) until now. My interests are to get some experience in the research area as well as knowledge and to meet proffesors of other universities to make my graduate studies. I am in my second semester of my sophomore year and I plan to continue my graduate studies up to the MD/PhD. I would like to work in a childrens hospital doing research and also attending patients. I think that would be even better because I would be looking for cures to help people, specially children. My mentor is Professor Miguel E. Castro from the Chemistry Department and we are working in the synthesis of nanoparticles for the use as biosensors.I like this area of Nanotechnology because it is barely new and it has a lot to offer to the biomedical research.
