Hi, I'm
Cami Bruno
I'm a biotech engineering student at ORT Uruguay who spends too much time reading papers I half-understand and asking why good science doesn't reach more people. This is where I write while I figure it out.

Human Genetics
The idea that one base pair change can completely rewrite someone's life is still wild to me. I keep coming back to it.

Lab Techniques
PCR, gel electrophoresis, dilutions — not glamorous, but once you get why they work, everything clicks a little more.

Diagnostics
There's a gap between figuring something out in a lab and actually getting it to a patient. That gap bothers me.

Biotech in Uruguay
I'm from here. Biotech doesn't always reach places like this, and I think about that more than I probably should.
Currently neck-deep in PCR and molecular diagnostics for my Biochemistry class — finally starting to understand why it works, not just how. Also can't stop thinking about gene therapy access: we have a functional cure for sickle cell disease and 80% of patients can't afford it. That's the kind of thing that makes me want to keep going.
