Independent Researcher of CONICET.

Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry. Medicine School. IUCBC

Full Professor of Epistemology. School of the Bachelor of Genetics. IUCBC

We are interested in mitochondrial function and the consequences of metabolic dysfunction. We work with the following experimental models:

• Cells from individuals with Down syndrome, as a model of accelerated aging.
• Cells from individuals with Autism symptoms with a point mutation in a mitochondrial protein DLAT
• With the objective of carrying out a review of our approaches to the study topics, we incorporate an epistemological analysis of the technical approaches in neurosciences.
