Murano brings a unique perspective to A&M.
As a child, she fled Cuba and settled in Miami. She was the first in her family to attend college.
She then became an associate professor at Texas A&M.
In 2001, she was tapped by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to become the highest-ranking food safety official in U.S. government and presided over the first case of mad cow disease.”*
