Jesus Sambrano earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a minor in Physics from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2011. He joined New Mexico State University in 2012 and is currently working towards his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering with a research concentration in flow cytometry and related biophotonics under the supervision of Dr. Jessica Houston.

 

Jesus has completed the construction of a phase-sensitive flow cytometer and is working on immune studies with collaborators at University of New Mexico School of Medicine.

 

Mr. Sambrano has been the recipient of numerous honors and awards including the honor of becoming a RISE Scholar. He was invited to give a talk at the 24th Cytometry Development Workshop and awarded a travel award as well as other various travel awards to disseminate his research aboard. Mr. Sambrano works as a graduate research assistant for the departments of chemical engineering and biology, and previously as teaching assistant in chemical engineering and chemistry.

 

Jesus is a motivated individual whom has aspirations to obtain a Ph.D. and transition into a successful postdoctoral position. Mr. Sambrano’s ambition is to open/ and or take position at a core facility where he wishes to oversee and engage in infectious disease research using wet lab and computational lab approaches. Mr. Sambrano, hope to expand his network and outreach to engage minorities in STEM fields both in undergraduate and graduate levels.
