I was born on 24th April 1974 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I graduated from the School of Science (University of Buenos Aires) in 1999 with a 6-year biologist career equivalent to a Bachelor in Biology and Masters in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Since then I became a doctoral student from the Argentinean Research Council (CONICET) and in 2003 I obtained my PhD from the University of Buenos Aires. As a post doc student I began to study the interaction of lipid molecules in the process of embryo implantation. Currently, as a Young Investigator (2005 – actual) I am the head of the Laboratory of Physiology and Pharmacology of Reproduction at the Center for Pharmacological and Botanical Studies (CEFYBO). CEFYBO is a government institution that depends on the Argentinean Research Council and the School of Medicine from the University of Buenos Aires. Also, I am part of the Faculty Council from the Argentinean Clinic Research Society (SAIC), a prestigious society in Argentina dedicated to basic and clinical investigations. Finally, my best appointments: I am married to Ezequiel, I have one beautiful daughter and my second child will be born in July 2013!
