The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS)

            From November 5^th to November 9^th I went to the minority conference ABRCMS on Orlando, Florida. It was a great professional and personal experience. I have the opportunity of meeting undergraduate and graduate students who were going to presents their work. I also met different professors that were offering us diverse possibilities of graduate and medical schools. The conferences were amazing but the two that I liked most were the one called “Targeting DNA-Adduct Stereochemistry and p53Mdm2 Complexes for Improved Breast Cancer Cell Death” by Dr. Jill Bargonetti because is very similar to my investigation in the way that she is working with the DNA bonding protein p53 that stops cell growth but it can induce cell death and “Choosing Sex: How Germ Cells Take the Road Less Traveled” by Dr. David C. Page. I choose this last one like my favorite because he explain that broad material in a very simply way and I really enjoyed it.  The booths were great. I took a lot of information and I even met Puerto Ricans studying in the United States.  But the thing that I liked the most was the Award time. Puerto Rico won a lot of awards and I felt very proud because of it. I will like to thanks Biominds and to my mentor, Mayra Cadiz, for giving me the opportunity of present my investigation.
