Nicole Setzu relished opportunities to engage in research at UTEP. As a master's student, her work helped acquire a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to research inflammatory responses in immune system diseases. She presented her research at national and international conferences. She hopes to continue her education in a doctoral program to further her research of infectious disease.
Advanced science expertise is in high demand in dynamic industries such as health care, gerontology, food, energy, environmental sciences and government agencies.
