Deyaneira Mendez

I am an undergraduate student majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Diversity and Social Inequality. I am hoping to graduate with my Bachelor’s by Spring 2025. After undergraduate, I plan on pursuing a Master’s in Biotechnology, and then a PhD (concentration still yet to be determined). I am interested in the pathogenicity of microorganisms and the human body’s immune response to them.

When not in the lab or studying or working, I like to read books while I lay in bed with my dog, Simba. Also, if my bank account permits, I love to travel and learn about different cultures and gain new experiences.
