Passionate About:

Hello, my name is Carla Canales, and I’m deeply passionate about advancing our understanding of both neural engineering and cancer biology. Through my current studies and research, I’ve been fortunate to work on projects that could make a real difference in healthcare. I focus on investigating the complex mechanisms behind diseases like Ewing sarcoma, using innovative techniques such as single-cell western blotting to study proteins like ARID1A and EWS-FLI1. These efforts could lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment.

Beyond science, I am passionate about staying active and enjoying sports, which keep me grounded and driven. My family’s values have shaped my belief in hard work, resilience, and giving back, inspiring me to make a positive difference in the world.

Your support will help me continue my education and research, while also raising awareness of these important issues. Together, we can work toward a healthier and more compassionate future.

Thank you for being part of this journey!
