Biography
I am a cell and molecular biologist with over 10 years of research experience in stem cell biology. Since December 2023, I have been a senior researcher in the Translational Immunology team at iBET.
My research focuses on genetically manipulating hiPSC-derived immune cells with the prospective aim of developing allogenic immune cell therapies for cancer treatments.
My main field of expertise is the study of fundamental biological aspects of cell-fate decisions during early development, using mouse and human pluripotent stem cells as models. I completed my Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in June 2018. Upon completing my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, from 2018 to 2023. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Histology and Cytology class at the School of Medicine at Austral University, Buenos Aires, from 2016 to 2018.
During the past, my work has focused mainly on human cardiac embryonic development, identifying key miRNAs involved in the post-transcriptional control of developmental genes during cardiac differentiation. Additionally, I have investigated the role of genome organization during early mouse development using different single-molecule localization microscopy methods.
