I am a biologist and Independent Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), based at the Instituto de Ciencias Veterinarias del Litoral (ICIVET-Litoral, UNL–CONICET) in Esperanza, Santa Fe, Argentina. I hold a degree in Biotechnology and a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral. My early research focused on developmental neuroendocrinology, but since 2010, my work has focused on the molecular epidemiology and ecoepidemiology of vector-borne diseases. My current research focuses on tick-borne pathogens in wildlife, domestic animals, and humans across Argentina. I investigate the diversity, distribution, and ecology of pathogens such as *Rickettsia*, *Ehrlichia*, and *Borrelia*, using molecular approaches to explore tick–host–pathogen interactions. My work also encompasses other arthropod vectors and the identification and characterisation of novel pathogen and parasite lineages, with particular interest in their ecology, evolution, and zoonotic potential. Through an integrative molecular and ecological approach, I aim to advance understanding of vector-borne disease dynamics in South America and contribute to improved surveillance and control strategies for emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases.
