Ruben T. Almaraz   I was born and raised in Mexico and came to the US when I was 15 years old. I graduated from Rio Vista HS. I went to California State University Sacramento to get my B-degree (chemistry) and then the masters (biomedical Engineering) on the same university. I'm now doing a PhD program (Biophysics) at UC Davis.

Member of the following organizations

Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).

The Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES).
