Mariana P. Torrente Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, CUNY Brooklyn College E-mail: mariana.torrente@brooklyn.cuny.edu Mariana Torrente is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brooklyn College. She holds joint appointments with the CUNY Graduate Center PhD Programs in Biology, Biochemistry and Chemistry and is also a faculty affiliate of the Neuroscience Initiative at the Advanced Science Research Center, CUNY. She is a biochemist with bachelor degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the Florida Institute of Technology and a doctorate in Chemistry from Princeton University. After her doctoral work, she was a NIH NRSA fellow at the Penn State University College of Medicine and a PENN-PORT fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Funded by both the NSF RUI and NIH R15 programs, her current research is concerned with the epigenetic features of neurodegenerative disorders and basic yeast biology. She also currently co-directs several federally-funded programs to help students to pursue research careers in STEM, as well as programs to provide professional development for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Why I chose to join IRACDA NY-CAPS Having been an IRACDA fellow myself (PENN-PORT, 2012-2015), I am deeply committed to the program's overarching goals. I also know first-hand what a wonderful training opportunity it is. Because of these reasons, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Stony Brook IRACDA fellows. |
