I am a biotechnology master’s degree holder from Argentina with a keen interest in utilising my education and skills to contribute to global health. After completing an internship in oncogenomics in Australia, I moved to Europe to join Pieter Mestdagh and Jo Vandesompele’s lab and began my Ph.D. in Immuno-Oconcology.

My Research project focuses on the non-coding transcriptome’s role in immune evasion, specifically the identification of immuno-modulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in T-cells and tumour cells using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) pooled and arrayed screening platform. The discovery and characterisation of these lncRNA candidates will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of cancer development and progression, ultimately leading to the development of effective treatments.
