Dr. Esther Guzmán received her bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from Salem-Teikyo University in 1996, then worked for a year at the Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She received her doctorate in Biomedical Sciences with emphasis in Immunology from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston in 2004, followed by postdoctoral positions at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit (2004-2005) and at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (2005-2007). In 2007, Dr. Guzmán became the leader of the Cancer Cell Biology Program at the Center for Marine Biomedical and Biotechnology Research at HBOI, which focuses on identifying marine natural compounds with the ability to fight cancer. She is an author on over 40 peer reviewed publications on cancer biology and is an inventor on 3 U.S. patents covering the anti-cancer use of marine natural products. While at HBOI, Dr. Guzmán has participated in 9 scientific expeditions.
