Roberto José Rodríguez Cartagena
Webinar Coordinator
Roberto is a fourth year PhD student at The Rockefeller University. A member of Dr. Mary Beth Hatten's laboratory, he is interested in identifying novel mechanisms underlying neuronal development in the cerebellar cortex. Prior to graduate school, Roberto completed a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. He was also a summer intern at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine and an NIH Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program Fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle. Roberto’s experiences as a Puerto Rican in STEM motivate him to lead initiatives aimed towards the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities in STEM. CL’s GSMI program has a special place in his heart as it helped him navigate the complexity of the graduate school applications process. He could not be more excited to give back to this initiative in his role as Webinar Coordinator.
