I believe being able to effectively tell a story is an extremely important part about being a scientist. Communication is key to reaching out to others, providing new knowledge, and inspiring the researchers of tomorrow.
I was born in New York City and raised in the Harlem area, on the famous 125th street. I attended public schools in the district 5 school system from elementary school through Junior High School. Scholarships allowed me to attend The Orme School in Arizona, a boarding high school, and Colgate University in Central New York. It was during those two school experiences that I became passionate about chemistry and specifically metals in biology. My work with the late Prof. Martha Reynolds at Colgate has forever left a strong imprint on my approach to science and dedication to research. Today, I focus on elucidating new roles that "exotic" metals play in biology and on using this information for the development of metal-based therapeutics.
I dedicate my accomplishments to the memory of my parents, Ana M. and Angel A. Tinoco.
