Iliana Minervini \u201925\u00a0
Major:<\/strong> Bioengineering\u00a0
Hometown:<\/strong> San Salvador, El Salvador\u00a0
Awards:<\/strong> Dean’s Honor Roll, Academic Excellence Scholarship Recipient\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacific bioengineering<\/a> major Iliana Minervini \u201925 is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with medical conditions. Through her internship as a systems development engineer at Genentech, Iliana helps develop medical devices that address biomedical challenges and transform lives. Her journey to this role was challenging, but Pacific’s CO-OP program<\/a> equipped her with the necessary skills to break into the industry and expand her research in biomedical technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the company. The products are so complex, and the job I\u2019m doing right now, I like a lot,\u201d Iliana said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have a routine. It changes every week, and I like that part of the job.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before securing her internship at Genentech’s subsidiary, GenMark Diagnostics, Iliana completed an eight-month CO-OP at Abbott, a health technology company, as a systems engineer. Pacific’s Cooperative Education Program (CO-OP) provides students with real-world experience by combining classroom learning with paid, on-the-job training. The program supported Iliana as she applied her academic knowledge and built professional networks. Iliana had already developed her biomedical expertise research at Pacific working alongside Professors Fatemeh Khatami and Varadraj Vernekar on her research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the university, I got one of my very first experiences in the medical field,\u201d Iliana said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health care work runs in her family<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in San Salvador, El Salvador, Iliana was inspired by her parents, who both work in the medical field. Her father, a physician, and her mother, a pharmaceutical sales representative, have supported her from afar since she moved to the United States three years ago. Choosing to major in bioengineering allowed Iliana to delve into the intricate circuits and components of the medical profession. Her dedication and experience in Pacific\u2019s CO-OP program have opened exciting opportunities for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her CO-OP at Abbott, Iliana\u2019s team ensured that products met all standards before submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This role involved rigorous testing to resolve any issues and ensure products were up to standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are like the last line of defense before we submitted our work to the FDA,\u201d Iliana explained. Her Abbott experience was invaluable when Iliana applied for the internship at Genentech (a member of the Roche Group), where she now works as a systems development engineer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Abbott to GenMark<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Iliana started her internship at GenMark Diagnostics in May and works in research and development engineering, creating diagnostic devices to identify the nature or cause of medical conditions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst, we have to come up with a concept or a prototype, like an idea and how to make it into an actual, tangible product. That\u2019s what research and development is, in essence,\u201d Iliana explained. \u201cRight now, the company already has a design, but we\u2019re still making some design changes to it. We are trying to make it more efficient, more compact, and faster.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Pacific\u2019s CO-OP program at Abbott opened doors, it was Iliana\u2019s own efforts that secured her internship at Genentech\u2019s GenMark. \u201cPacific gives you preliminary knowledge and develops your critical thinking, which are the main aspects you need to be successful in the industry or academia. While school won\u2019t give you all the answers, it provides a good base.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iliana is eager to continue working at a medical company like Genentech after completing her undergraduate studies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a gratifying field,\u201d Iliana said. \u201cI have enjoyed the journey because it\u2019s a way to understand the many ways of contributing to people\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
