I’m Argentinian, from the Northwest, a province called Tucuman, I have worked and studied in Argentina and abroad with different scholarships: CONICET in Argentina, Fulbright in the US, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) in Germany, European Research Council (ERC)-associated scholarship in Israel. My MSCA Incoming Fellowship was at the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mülheim an der Ruhr (2011-2013) and Return Phase in 2014 in my home lab in Argentina. Last year, I was awarded the Georg Forster Experienced Researcher Scholarship to continue with my projects in Germany at the Phillips University in Marburg, but due to the pandemic, I had to postpone my trips.

I am a Biologist, holding a PhD in Biochemistry. My research projects are in molecular microbiology and my areas of expertise are molecular biology, omics and electron microscopy. Currently, I am an Independent Researcher and Director of the Center for Electron Microscopy (CIME) belonging to CONICET, and the National University of Tucuman (Argentina).

I am the MCAA Argentina Chapter Founder and current Chair.
