<p><em><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><strong>J. Marcela Hernandez, Ph.D.</strong>, received her Bachelor of Science in molecular genetics, and a Master of Science and doctoral degree in biochemistry. Her scientific training and research in biochemistry and molecular biology focused on control of gene expression at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Her current role is to design and implement programs to enhance recruitment, retention, and support of postdoctoral scholars. Her responsibilities also include coordinating programs and initiatives for recruitment and support of postdocs from underrepresented backgrounds. She became a scientist thanks to an excellent doctoral mentor who inspired and mentored her, which motivated her to become a researcher. This made her realize the importance of good training and mentorship. Hernandez is very passionate about helping the next generation of scholars and professionals navigate successfully to rewarding careers.</font></em></p>
