Currently, I am working as a Postbaccalaureate Fellow at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In this role, I am actively engaged in conducting research focused on investigating the roles of specific genes, particularly those associated with stress responses. My work involves engaging in tissue culture work, performing molecular analyses, and utilizing advanced techniques. The ultimate goal of my research is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression.
Through my contributions at NCI, I am gaining valuable experience in experimental design, data collection, analysis, and collaborating with researchers. I am confident that this experience will establish a strong foundation as I aspire to pursue advanced studies in cancer biology.

3rd Workshop of 2023 Global Year of STEM Signs
There are many STEM sign lexicons worldwide based on different sign languages. Over the year, we will celebrate this work and discuss the future of STEM sign language lexicons and their impact on STEM education and careers. A series of six events that provide those us working in this field with opportunities to come together. […]
Ph.D Defense for Amie F. Sankoh
Project summary: Plasmodesmata (PD) are plasma membrane-lined pores in plant cell walls that allow trafficking of small molecules and macromolecules, including metabolites, signaling molecules, and some hormones, from one plant cell to another. Interestingly, the plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) does not traffic via PD, but instead moves through the apoplast, but it can function […]
Franly Ulerio-Nunez
I’m Afro-Latino, a biochemist, and an activist. My 10+ years of experience in team leadership at different organizations took place from community to employer. My leadership model was cultivated with the support of my multi-intersectional groups throughout a series of small discussions. I made several accomplishments in the laboratory. I trained staff and faculty in the culture of laboratory safety at the academic institution for 3 years. I won a runner-up award for the NAD Youth Ambassador Program in July 2018. My idea focuses on delivering STEM materials to non-STEM audiences via entertainment content.
