After finishing my PhD at the University of Buenos Aires, working with ASR1 protein from tomato. I switched from Transcription factors and water stress to O-glycosylation and cell expansion as a post-doc. Now I´m starting my own research line in plant secretion and growth. I´m currently focusing in the R-SNARE protein VAMP721, fundamental in membrane fusion, one of the last steps of secretion and trafficking in general. I´m also developing enhanced protein-protein interaction analysis tools.
