Dr. Tracie Delgado
Hello….
Welcome to my webpage. A little about me…I was born and raised in Los Angeles California in a predominately Latino community. I then went on to UCLA for undergrad where I developed a huge passion for science, Christ and UCLA football. During my years at UCLA I was able to do molecular biology, cancer biology and herpesvirus research. After UCLA I moved to Seattle Washington to pursue my Ph.D degree in Microbiology at the University of Washington. My thesis project aimed at determining how Kaposi’s Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) causes cancer (see research interests section). While at the University of Washington I was actively involved in science outreach and education. I was president of the Society of Advancement of Chicano’s and Native American’s in the Sciences (SACNAS) University of Washington chapter and actively participated in various K-12 science outreach events in the greater Seattle area and beyond. After graduating from the University of Washington, I joined the Northwest University faculty (Fall 2011).
I enjoy teaching, virus research, singing, playing piano and guitar, worship leading, baking, watching UCLA football, talking about the wonders of science, eating chocolate and desserts, cheesecake factory, karaoke, riding roller coasters, song writing, bunnies, gospel music, photography, spiritual conversations and playing with snow. In addition, I was recently married to my husband Brian on March 19, 2011. We have an adorable little dwarf rabbit named Orange Julius.

When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds and our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, lets remember that there is a great benign power in the universe whose name is God and He is able to make a way out of no way, and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.
