Dr. Chona Camille VinceCruz-Abeledo is a faculty of the Department of Biology and leads the CrabTECH research team at the De La Salle University. They help in developing technologies to help in natural resource management at the nexus of molecular biology, genetics, ecology, big data, machine learning, and information technology. She is also the creator the science blog SHE-ensya, fueled by her advocacy in the improvement of communications between the scientific community and other sectors of society.  A recipient of the 2021 Outstanding Asian Science Diplomat award and honored as one of 2021’s Southeast Asian Women Science Leaders, she has a diversified background in research rooted in a Bachelor of Science Degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the University of the Philippines – Diliman, which is complemented by a Master of Environment and Natural Resources Management degree from the UP Open University. Her dissertation work on the molecular and morphological characteristics on Scylla species in the Philippines celebrates the synergy between genetics and ecology, as she completed it from the De La Salle University, with a Fulbright dissertation grant to the University of Washington in Seattle. Innovations from this dissertation won her the DOST-PCIEERD’s 2015 Outstanding Research and Development Award for Emerging Technologies.
