Diego is an MD-PhD student at the Yale School of Medicine. Before Yale, he worked for two years at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute in the lab of Dr. Fernando Camargo, developing cell lineage tracing and multi-omic profiling tools to characterize aging hematopoiesis. Diego attended Fordham University on a full ride as a National Hispanic Scholar, earning his degree in Integrative Neuroscience, a multidisciplinary major spanning Systems and Computational, Cellular and Molecular, and Cognitive Neuroscience. His undergraduate research included neural epigenetics, tissue engineering, molecular dynamics simulations, and computational drug design. Diego also competed as a Division 1 springboard diver and completed minors in Biochemistry and Philosophy. If there weren’t still a million ways to improve human health through science and technology, you might find him highlining, painting, or dabbling in epistemology.
