Our testimonials

PhD Mabel Raza García

Graduate

Being a Cayetano graduate gave me the opportunity to obtain the Fogarty scholarship to study my master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Washington. It also allowed me to work in various multidisciplinary teams, from bioinformatics to public health information application.

The comprehensive training with a strong research component that Cayetano gives us also gave me the opportunity to work in different sectors such as academia to the private sector, where especially my experience in the Analytical Laboratory (A-Lab) of the MIT.
