Changes

'''What she does now:''' Study Biomedical Engineering(focusing on neuro-engineering and tissue engineering topics), volunteer at the Lab -A ( Open Lab for innovation, development, entrepreneurship, and technological research), design assistive products for patients with neuromuscular disorders, and research how to make healthcare more accessible for everyone.<br>

'''What that means:''' Study, help at design thinking, 3D printingworkshops, trying to learn about brain computer interface and work bioprinting, try to keep up with other biomedical students to design assistive devices next to occupational therapies and other health professionalsopen source projects. <br>

Natalia Suárez is a University Innovation Fellow and part of the second generation of students of Biomedical Engineering in from Universidad Tecnologica Tecnológica del Uruguay (UTEC)studying Biomedical Engineering. Her research interest includes clinical engineering, neuroengeeringneuro-engIeering, rehabilitationtissue engineering, and product design.<br>

Natalia is originally from Paysandú, Uruguay, where she lived until 2017 when she moved to Fray Bentos, Río Negro for university to study at Universidad Tecnológica. While she was in high-school studying computer science and information technology she was introduced to divers maker marathons, labs, science fairs, and camps that let her build a path through 2 majors; health, innovation in designand technology. She also seeks to improve education, emphasizing mental health, and raising awareness of neurobiological disorders.<br>

At Universidad Tecnológica, Natalia volunteers at Lab-A ( Open Lab for innovation, development, entrepreneurship and technological research), where she helps at design thinking, 3D printing, and design, robotics in education workshops as Bits and Bricks program (educational robotics), there where she was introduced to the University Innovation Fellows Program. She also enjoys researching open source biomedical equipment and , personalized medicine, brain computer interface and tissue engineering. She is currently in a competition about brain-computer interface controlled vehicles. <br>

From a very young age, Natalia was interested in innovation, technology, and health. This makes her join as many extracurricular advanced activities to always keep learning, this taught her that one is never too young to learn. Growing up, she was also involved in music, learning to play piano and guitar, and in sports such as learning rowing, skating, and taekwondo.<br>
