Throughout my career, I have made it my priority to utilize current technologies and new techniques to generate elegant, creative solutions across a range of challenging research projects in plant biotechnology and functional (epi)genomics. I have been working through a holistic approach, including plant transformation, trait development and characterization and using a multiomics perspective. My experience as a professor has enriched myself even more with the freshness of young minds to not lose the focus on where we should aim our efforts. I came to Galy as a Senior Scientist to develop and optimize our process for in vitro fiber development, we had been working in a high throughput cell lines screening, using diverse techniques that include confocal and polarized microscopy, morphological characterization, transcript profiling, biochemical assays, among others. We utilize literature and “home made” omics studies to prioritize gene, hormone, and environmental condition targets for plant cell culture trait manipulation, and then mimic the fiber’s natural environment. We work as a team in a fast-paced environment where we can share our knowledge and learn from our colleagues.

I'm Adjunct Researcher of the Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET - INTA) and professor at the Genetics Cathedra of the Faculty of Agronomy, University of Buenos Aires (UBA), in Argentina. I got an Agronomical Engineer degree from the National University of Colombia (2006) and obtained my PhD (2011) in Biological Sciences from the University of Sao Paulo – Brazil, under the supervision of Prof. Magdalena Rossi and Fernando Carrari. Since my PhD, I was involved in the characterization of genetic determinants involved in tomato fruit quality. Currently, I'm leading a project studying genome reprogramming associated with transgressive phenotypes of plant hybrids.
