During my PhD I have studied the innate immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis; focusing on the role of the bronchial epithelium in the establishment and development of the immune response to different genotypes of Mtb from Argentina and its impact on other cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. Besides, I have collaborated with other research groups and colleagues resulting in the publication of manuscripts including a first shared authorship. Furthermore, I have fulfilled two research stays at Olivier Neyrolles and Isabelle Maridonneau-Parini research groups for Mycobacterial Interactions with Host Cells and Phagocyte Migration and Differentiation respectively, at the Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology (IPBS), Toulouse, France. Currently, I am a postdoctoral Research Fellow at Prof. Eran Elinav lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where I am studying the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease.
