Vertex Pharmaceuticals - Senior Research Scientist Career Spotlight
Please join us for our Career Spotlight event with Vertex Pharmaceuticals on Thursday, February 27th from 6-7PM at TMEC Room 209! We will be featuring Dr. Salma Cruz’s (PhD) journey to becoming a Senior Research Scientist at Vertex. Food and drinks will be provided! Dr. Cruz received a B.S. in Chemistry from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, TN. During her PhD, she developed mouse models using Crispr-Cas9 technologies to understand the underlying cause of disease in patients recruited into the Undiagnosed Diseases Program at the NIH, with peripheral neuropathies and CNS deficits. Salma joined Vertex in 2020 as a Vertex Fellow where she spent a year at the Oxford Research site. Shortly after, Salma transitioned to a full-time role at the Boston Research site as a Drug Discovery Research Scientist, working on various projects across several disease areas.
