I received my Biotechnology degree at the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE), Argentina, and currently I am doing my PhD at the University of Buenos Aires, Institute of Biological Chemistry, funded by the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) from Argentina. My research focuses on identifying key alterations in metabolic genes and biochemical pathways produced during the crosstalk between prostate cancer and the bone niche. By combining clinical observations, bioinformatics analyses and laboratory experiments, I am committed to decipher the metabolic vulnerabilities of prostate cancer bone metastases to translate them to the clinics, and to contribute to the development of more effective and personalized approaches for cancer prognosis and treatment. Guided by a strong sense of cooperative science, I am involved in numerous collaborations in different areas, from cancer biomarkers and tumor biology to stem cells and tissue engineering. As a molecular biology professor, I am eager to motivate students, to make them ask themselves innovative questions, to be curious, and, above all, to make them succeed in the science field they choose to pursue.
It is my enormous honor to get involved in scientific organizations focused on integrating science, aiming at improving human health, and to get leadership positions that enable me to transmit my motivation and passion for research and social involvement. Thus, as an AMC member, I am committed to provide the current and next generations of early-career researchers with the tools that the AACR has to offer, to organize professional advancement sessions to help them shape their objectives, and to stimulate the participation of young students. I also have the pleasure to serve as a member of the inaugural Global Scholar Alumni Committee to represent young researchers from developing countries that have been awarded with the AACR Global Scholar in Training Award.
