In 2021, Jocelyne Rivera graduated summa cum laude from the University of Arizona with a BSc in Biomedical Engineering. As an undergraduate researcher, she joined several research laboratories relevant to Biomedical Engineering, including Biomaterials, Biosensors, and Computational Modeling. As a senior undergraduate, she chose to work in the Biomaterials laboratory of Dr. Minkyu Kim. Her work in Dr. Kim’s lab involved the innovation of drug delivery systems that can be translated into the clinic to target and treat cardiovascular disease.

Jocelyne is currently a DPhil candidate working jointly between the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the University of Oxford. Jocelyne is mentored by Prof. Eleanor Stride and Dr. Bradford Wood and funded through the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program.

Jocelyne joined BUBBL as a DPhil student, where she is currently investigating ultrasound-mediated lipid-based microbubbles for localized immunotherapy.
