Profile Summary

I'm a pediatrician (MD) and PhD scientist with over 15 years of clinical and research experience, specialized in inborn errors of metabolism, mitochondrial diseases, and epigenetics. My background includes advanced training at Hospital Garrahan (Argentina's leading pediatric hospital), a PhD focused on nuclear epigenetics-mitochondrial communication, and international research fellowships in the US. I currently work as a CONICET researcher in mitochondrial diseases and provide medical care for children with complex inherited metabolic disorders. As a scientific writer and research advisor, I’ve authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals (including as corresponding author), with expertise in experimental design, data interpretation, and manuscript preparation. I offer: Expert consulting on rare diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inborn errors of metabolism Scientific writing and editing (grants, manuscripts, reviews). Sceintific pitch preparation. Literature reviews and project development support for clinicians, researchers, and biotech companies. Fluent in English and Spanish. Based in Argentina, available for international collaboration. Let’s work together to translate complex science into real impact. Flexible rates available depending on project scope — let’s discuss what works best
