Profile Summary

I am an Argentinian Biologist and I have a PhD. in Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. Currently, I work part time at GECORP (www.gecorp.com.ar), a genetic diagnostic company based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, we manage and develop the implementation of R&D projects related to genetic diagnosis between national and international institutions. My last job was in the exosome field in the Marban Laboratory at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. I have focused in exosome biology in a cardiac context for the last 8 years, but concurrently performed exosome research in other fields including metabolism and cancer. I find it exciting to explore new areas and I have had good experiences with that. I think that going into a new field without background perspective can bring interesting advantages related with novel solutions to old problems. After a talk in Spain, I begin to be interested in Neuroscience. I’m totally intrigued with how memory works, as well as people working with artificial intelligence interfaces between machines and biological systems.
