Thalía, a Bioengineering Graduate from UTEC (2023), is currently pursuing her MSc studies in Biomedical Engineering at L'École Polytechnique - Institut Polytechnique de Paris in France. During the last four years, she has used biologically-inspired engineering to create synthetic organ models across Peru, France, and Canada.
All the opportunities she was granted so far to become an engineer working and studying in prestigious institutions have led her to share her knowledge to shape the career of future female scientists. For that reason, she works to empower women and girls from her birthplace, democratize life sciences, and contribute to biomedical research in her country.
