Ana Fernandez-Sesma is a native of Spain, where she completed her undergraduate work in Biological Sciences. There, she witnessed the challenges of securing a promising position in a research laboratory: something possible at that time in Spain, and in Europe, only through connections with the professor in charge.

Dr. Fernandez-Sesma was heartened to learn that in many US labs, young scientists could work as volunteers to learn “the ropes” and gain insights before applying for positions. completed her PhD and postdoctorate work at Mount Sinai.
