María Coronel’s global health work focuses on engineering biomaterial-based biosensors for real-time immune monitoring and cytokine tracking. Her interests in global health equity align with the Center's themes of empowering women, strengthening systems for health, and developing technical solutions. Coronel’s research aims to address diagnostic gaps in resource-limited and global health settings, particularly for early immune dysfunction and gestational diabetes, with the goal of improving maternal-fetal outcomes.
