Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center shared on LinkedIn:

Destiny Tiburcio, a Ph.D. student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, has received the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Gilliam Fellowship!

She and her mentor, Dr. Michal Toborek, Sylvester researcher and vice chair for research for the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Miller School, will study the impact of phthalates—common toxins in food packaging and cosmetics—on brain cancer and the blood-brain barrier.

Driven by lifelong curiosity, Tiburcio’s work aims to inform better policymaking and consumer habits. In collaboration with the Toborek Lab, she hopes to improve health care for underrepresented communities.

Learn how their study can impact health outcomes.”
