Reza is a junior Honors College student studying electrical engineering. He is broadly interested in studying biological systems using mathematical and engineering techniques. As a MARC fellow, he is part of the Cardiovascular Matrix Remodeling Laboratory under Dr. Joshua Hutcheson, where he studies vascular calcification. His goal is to use control theory to formalize a mathematical framework to explain why a pathology such as vascular calcification occurs despite various regulatory networks within the cell. He hopes that doing so will shed some light on the complicated nature of vascular calcification that can further be used to develop therapeutics. Reza aspires to be become a physician scientist with the aim of using mathematical language to elucidate on complex biological processes.

Shayir Landers is an Afro-Panamanian born and raised in South Miami with a passion for scientific research. He recently transferred to Florida International University from Miami-Dade College Homestead campus, where he earned an associate's degree in biotechnology. He is currently double majoring in Biological Sciences and Natural and Applied Sciences, with minors in Chemistry and Math. In the future, he aspires to become a physician-scientist focused on gene therapy research, particularly in clinical translation for patients. Currently, as a Junior in the MARC U* STAR program, Shayir has had the privilege of working under the mentorship of Dr. Yuan Liu at the College of Health and Nursing. Our research focuses on studying DNA and RNA repair mechanisms in Friedreich's Ataxia, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by GAA repeats at the first intron of the frataxin gene, with potential implications for gene therapy through the use of epigenetic modifications. Before joining the MARC program, he conducted research at Miami-Dade College, the University of Florida, and primarily at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in the Burnett/Pham Lab, where he was trained for a year and a half conducting gene therapy research targeting HIV-1. This upcoming summer, he will join the Raguram Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to work on macromolecular delivery using engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs) for gene therapy. Shayir is very grateful for the opportunities ahead, finding his experience in the program highly rewarding, and looks forward to advancing scientific research and making meaningful contributions to gene therapy for the sake of the people.

Valentina is a Biological Sciences major with a specialization in Biotechnology, who has a strong interest in bioinformatics and comparative genomics. Under the mentorship of Dr. Jessica Siltberg-Liberles, her research investigates how pathogenicity predictions of missense mutations correlate with evolutionary rates and structural features across homologous proteins implicated in cancer to advance basic science research in protein evolution. This could have further applications in the development of cancer therapies and precision medicine. After graduation, Valentina aims to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences to continue advancing research through computational approaches.
