Bio

My name is Nicole Bellaflores-Mejia. I was born in the United States but I am of Colombian descent. My current major is Liberal Arts however I hope to pursue either a Biology or Pre-Medicine major in the future. My interests include reading, creative writing and website design. I hope to one day obtain both a MD and PhD with a research concentration in genetic disorders which include further investigation and possible cures. There are many genetic disorders which plague humanity, of which a substantial amount of knowledge are still unknown to us in modern medicine. Under the mentor-ship of Prof. Mercer Brugler at his lab at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), I plan to better understand the complexity of DNA bringing me one step closer towards my future endeavors.

Strengthening Research Interactions through Digital Expression (STRIDE)

Strengthening Research Interactions through Digital Expression (STRIDE)

STRIDE is a digital infrastructure using the OpenLab platform that converges a variety of science resources and applications bearing a capacity for enriched engagement in research, and community building. More that a mere website for the NIH Bridges to the Baccalaureate at City Tech, it will contains the following components: • A resource center of digital presentations of faculty mentors research interests/profiles. • A multimedia library of faculty/student research project presentations. • An online journal of students’ scholarly works in research including the sharing of conference abstracts and papers. • Digital platform for an interactive research community that includes online social media.
