UTEP faculty and students will soon be journeying to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico – not for a vacation, but to collaborate with researchers from around the country on serious health issues like leukemia, tuberculosis and Chagas disease.
The group of about 20 will attend the Research Centers for Minority Institutions’ (RCMI) International Symposium on Health Disparities – designed to highlight excellence in basic, translational and clinical research, and offer opportunities for sharing research information.
