Principal Investigator at the NIH interested in understanding how the brain modulates pain. Proud Puerto Rican. My views and opinions are my own.

Our very first lab publication! So many emotions!! Very proud of our team, especially Torri Wilson (@tdw1373), Spring Valdivia, and Aleisha Khan (@Leishk1). Looking forward to continue figuring out how the brain controls pain. https://t.co/i5kVik8u2q
