Brian E. Email & Phone Number

Driven by a deep-rooted commitment to serve my community, I’m a first-generation, queer, Latino scientist with a passion for cancer research and a vision of inclusive healthcare. Half Cuban and Chilean, I’m proud of my heritage and motivated by a desire to break barriers for communities of color in medicine, particularly Latino patients. My path to medicine is inspired by a commitment to advance healthcare access and outcomes for all, especially for communities like my own who deserve equitable care.My background as a Clinical Research Assistant in oncology studies has allowed me to contribute to advancements in cancer research while advocating for patient-centered care. My science is rooted in compassion, and my approach to clinical work has been shaped by a strong belief in social justice, women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ and environmental sustainability.Outside of the lab, I’m a coffee enthusiast and plant lover, and my family is at the heart of my life—I’m a proud uncle to three and a dedicated little brother, always putting family and loved ones first. I also advocate for undocumented citizens and strongly believe in healthcare as a human right. On track for medical school, I’m motivated by the vision of not only becoming a doctor but being a bridge for communities facing systemic barriers in healthcare.This journey, built on love for my culture, science, and community, is about more than professional milestones; it’s about reshaping the future of healthcare for those who need it most.
