«Angelica Cuapio has a long-standing career in Life Science related research, in particular in the field of immunology. She has built her career in science on her success in obtaining academic positions and research funding in strong competition. Beyond this, she has long-term experience in providing guidance to others in grant writing, project-specific coaching, other forms of academic writing and illustration. Her experience includes effective networking arrangements including that of setting up of conferences and workshops. Beyond this, she has assisted in processes of conflict and competition management. Among other noteworthy skills she has also provided extensive support for younger scientists. The latter exemplified by being an active representant of students during three consecutive Marie Curie fellowships and consortiums.»

«I know Dr. Angélica Cuapio through her role as a fellow and evaluator of one of the most prestigious scholarships in the world: the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), funded by the European Commission. The first time I heard her presenting about her experience providing recommendations to researchers from the LAC region was during the annual MSCA alumni conference. Dr. Cuapio understands both sides of the coin, as both an applicant and an evaluator. Bringing together these two perspectives is unique and adds exceptional value to every speech she gives. Her excellent and professional presentations have motivated many attendees to apply and pursue their dreams.»

«One of the most beautiful qualities a person can possess is generosity with their time and knowledge, and Dr. Angelica Cuapio embodies both. She is always ready to share more of her vast experience and to inspire others with her genuine curiosity. With her intelligence, assertiveness, rigor, sensitivity, and diverse interests, she will help those who, like her, enjoy life and dream of science.»

«I had the pleasure of meeting Angelica during my Ph.D. journey in an international consortium, in which she had the role of being the outbound person for students as a formal Marie-Curie fellow herself. Navigating the same challenges of the program as us, Angelica turned out to be the perfect person to lean on. Her experience made her the go-to person when issues erupted, whether they were program-related or personal struggles with work-life balance. Angelica provided practical solutions but also offered a listening ear, creating a space where one could freely express concerns. Her approach, whether through the power of example or just being a supportive presence, comes from a deep understanding of how demanding and complex the academic journey can be. Angelica made a positive impact on my Ph.D. experience and I am really grateful for her guidance during this time.«

«I met Angelica during my international PhD while she was a postdoctoral researcher. She quickly acquired knowledge in onco-hematology and genetics and incorporated it into her research. Furthermore, she consistently brought forth new ideas to explore and was able to translate them into tangible results. As a person, she is warm and has a sympathetic ear for both work and personal situations. Moreover, she has the great ability to encourage you to reach your maximum potential with humor.»

«I met Dr Angélica Cuapio at the beginning of her scientific career, when she was employed as an early stage researcher to complete a PhD under the Marie Curie Initial Training Network from the European FP7 program, which I coordinated, called “UPEHA-MS” (GA 212877, 2008-2012). Angélica showed to be an enthusiastic and motivated researcher, very capable to organize and perform her research. Within the network she was a very communicative and collaborative person participating actively in all the training activities organized under the network.»

«Angelica is an enthusiastic scientist who has dedicated herself to researching the role of an important component of the human immune system: natural killer cells, in health and disease. Through her scientific work, she has contributed to the understanding of the functions of these cells in cancer and autoimmune diseases, and has been successful in applying for and obtaining several grants from the prestigious Marie Curie actions of the European Commission. During her work, she has demonstrated excellent competence in guiding and mentoring PhD and master’s students.»

«I met Angelica through the Marie Curie Alumni Association, a network of former fellows of the European Union’s Marie Curie program, to which we both belong. Angelica has an admirable track record of accessing international funding programs. I had the pleasure of hearing her speak at the 3rd Marie Curie Alumni Congress in Latin America in Cartagena, Colombia, where I also witnessed her great ability to share her experience in supporting other researchers seeking funding options.«

«I met Angelica through a European Union Marie Curie program in 2010. Although I was not her direct supervisor, I was able to observe and track her progress during her PhD. Angelica demonstrated intelligence, self-motivation, responsibility, and kindness. She also exhibited passion, dedication, perseverance, competitiveness, and the ability to work independently. She gained a solid background in Immunology in Germany, Austria, and finally at the Karolinska Institute. I have maintained regular contact with Angelica, and she has always been a valuable resource for me, especially regarding NK and regulatory T cells. Her journey started in Mexico and continued through three key institutions in three different European countries, which is a rare experience. Angelica is a perfect consultant for anyone wishing to build an international scientific career.«

«I was thrilled to have the opportunity to study with Dr. Angelica during my master’s internship. She was a patient and highly knowledgeable teacher who provided support not only in my studies but also in my personal life. She helped me quickly adapt to a new environment where I initially had no friends. Additionally, she introduced me to various activities, which made me more outgoing and showed me new possibilities in daily life. Even after graduating, I have maintained contact with Angelica, and she has provided me with valuable advice during my PhD application process. I am truly grateful for her companionship during that challenging time, and I believe she has given me a treasure that will benefit me throughout my life.»
