I am a researcher and academic with an extensive background in bioengineering and medical sciences. I earned my Doctorate in Engineering Sciences from the National University of Córdoba in 2008 and a Doctorate in Physiological Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires in 2000, graduating with honors. I also hold an MBA with a focus on Information Systems from the University of Palermo and a degree in Electronics Engineering from the National Technological University. I was Visiting Professor and Lecturer at Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurology, from 1998 to 2010, following a predoctoral fellowship at both the Favaloro Foundation and Harvard Medical School's Children's Hospital from 1994 to 1998. Currently, I serve as the Director of the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB), a tri-institutional entity affiliated with CONICET, the Italian Hospital University Institute, and the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires. Since 2017, I have been the Director of the Biomedical Engineering program at the Italian Hospital University Institute and a member of its Superior Council since 2018. I also coordinate and teach in the Doctorate in Health Sciences and the Master's in Health Informatics programs at the same institution. I lead the Biomedical Engineering Group at IMTIB and direct the MAGenTA project, which focuses on genomic actionability mapping in Argentina.
