She is the only student from Puerto Rico to receive this award during 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UGSP is a highly competitive program that offers scholarships to students who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science health-related research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a UGSP Scholar, Coralys\u2019 educational expenses for the 2022-2023 academic year will be covered and will receive a spot as an NIH research trainee for 10 weeks during the summer of 2023. After graduation, the NIH will employ her as a research trainee for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coralys\u2019 achievements have been possible, in part, by the \u201cEmpowering STEM at Sagrado\u201d project\u2014sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education\u2014which has given her the opportunity to attend multiple medical and research internships, the most recent being the Clinical Science, Technology, and Medicine Summer Internship<\/a><\/strong> at Stanford Medicine and the Medical Scientist Training Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship<\/a><\/strong> at UC San Diego, both during the Summer of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has also participated in various research projects such as \u201cHow Can the Inflammasome Complex and Inflammatory Responses Affect the Regenerative Process of the Sea Cucumber Holothuria Glaberrima\u201d in the Developmental Neurobiology Laboratory<\/a><\/strong> and \u201cImpact of Dermatology ECHO on Improved Diagnostic and Treatment Accuracy: 6.5 Year Period\u201d presented in the University of Missouri Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievements Forum. Coralys also shadowed two pediatric dermatologists and a dermatopathologist in the University of Missouri School of Medicine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coralys continues to serve as a tutor and peer mentor in two National Science Foundation<\/a><\/strong> awarded projects at Sagrado: \u201cIncreasing Student Success in STEM\u201d and \u201cSagrado Undergraduates Connecting Concepts for Excellence in STEM Studies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
