Jordy Botello

Ph.D. Student, Molecular Biology

Jordy was born and raised in warm Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He majored in Chemistry at the University of Florida, where he studied avenues for lung cancer treatment and prevention using small molecules. Intrigued by how cells spatiotemporally organize chemical reactions, Jordy joined the Brangwynne lab in Summer 2021, where he is interested in combining tools from biophysics and molecular biology to understand how nuclear condensates facilitate the assembly of important molecular machines, such as the ribosome. Outside the lab, Jordy enjoys writing about the randomness of life and is a history nerd.
