I am a Doctor in Biological Sciences. My PhD was about the molecular epidemiology and comparative genomics of mycobacteria. Later I studied the interaction of M. bovis with alveolar macrophages at the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs in the United Kingdom. On my return, I gained a position from CONICET working at the Institute of Agrobiotechnology and Molecular Biology where I opened a new line on Leptospirosis research. Nowadays I am responsible for Leptospira`s Lab and we cover different aspects of this zoonotic pathogen such as molecular epidemiology, comparative genomics, vaccine evaluation in animal models, and differential pathogenesis of Argentinian isolates.
