Dr. Domenech obtained her B.S. in Industrial Biotechnology from UPRM in 2006. She undertook her graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she completed an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2010. She returned to Puerto Rico where she completed a postdoc in the field of nanomaterials in the Chemical engineering department of UPRM. Her current research centers on the development of biomaterials and cell culture technologies for breast cancer, stem cell manufacture and biosensing applications. She is currently a full tenured professor in Chemical Engineering Department and a faculty member of the Bioengineering Graduate Program both at UPRM, and an Affiliated Researcher of the UPR-Comprehensive Cancer Center.
