Meet RaMP-UP’s first post-bac class

In June 2023, a group of ten students began their oneyear journey to post-bac in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras through the RaMPUP program. A full-time research experience for these scholars by conducting a biology research project with one of our mentors and co-mentors, and taking a course related to their research interests. 

This group is composed of five students from local institutions in Puerto Rico, one from a private institution in Puerto Rico, and four from the mainland. Meet the RaMP-UP 2023 Class members:
