I have a Ph.D. in Science and Technology from the National University of Quilmes (UNQ) and an M.Sc. in Biotechnology from the same institution. During my Ph.D., I specialised in biophysics and computational biology, using simulation techniques to study biological macromolecules. In 2022 and 2024, I served as a Visiting Research Fellow at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Cambridge. Additionally, I was an Instructor Professor of Physical Chemistry at the UNQ, and part of the COVID-19 diagnostic team during the pandemic. I also have experience in human resources training, having been a thesis co-director within the Research Seminar of the Master in Biotechnology at UNQ.
