Elisa Bolatti is Biologist graduated at the School of Physics, Exacts and Natural Sciences at the National University of Córdoba and Professor of Biology at the Argentinian Catholic University. She performed her PhD at the Human Virology Group of the IBR and at the School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the National University of Rosario under the direction of Dr. Adriana Giri and Dr. Diego Chouhy. During her Ph.D she studied the molecular epidemiology and evolutionary mechanisms of human papillomaviruses and adquired experience in the development of molecular methods for the detection of viral infections. She obtained fellowships from the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases to perform scientific visits at the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology of the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). She completed her post doctoral studies at the Human Virology Group focused on the study and discovery of new viruses using next generation sequencing and bioinformatics tools for big data analysis. At the moment, she is carrying out her research in two lines of investigation, one focused on the development of kits for the diagnosis of viral infections using aptamers as molecular sensors, and another aimed at the analysis of viromes and the discovery of novel viruses with implications for human and animal health in wild animal samples.

Dr. Pablo Emiliano Tomatis started his research training during his undergraduate thesis at the Institute of Investigations in Biotechnology in Buenos Aires Argentina. He graduated a Master in Biotechnology in 2000. Then in 2002 he started to work on directed molecular evolution of metallo-beta-lactamases as his PhD thesis project at the School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Rosario, Argentina. He was awarded with several Postgraduate Research Fellowships to support his Ph.D. thesis work. In 2008 obtained his PhD degree Summa cum laude, and soon after he continued working as a postdoctoral fellow of the Argentinean National Research Council at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of Rosario, Argentina. Since 2011 he is Assistant Researcher as Staff member of the Argentinean National Research Council, working on structural adaptability on protein evolution. From 2012 until the end of 2015, worked as postdoc at the University of Zürich, Switzerland, thanks to a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship and to Novartis Stiftung für medizinisch-biologische Forschung. After his postdoctoral training abroad, he returned to Argentina to work as an Assistant Researcher in the Metalloprotein Lab at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of Rosario, Argentina. He Is also a Teaching Assistant in Biophysics, School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Rosario (UNR). Dr. Tomatis is an active member of the MCAA Argentinian chapter.

Victoria Lucia Alonso has a Bachelor degree in Biotechnology from the School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCByF) of the National University of Rosario, completed her doctorate at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario (IBR-CONICET) of the same School under the direction of Dr. Esteban Serra. She did a posdoc in medicinal chemistry at the Research Institute for the Discovery of Pharmaceuticals of Rosario (IIDEFAR-UNR) under the direction of Dr. Ricardo Furlan. She is currently an Assistant Researcher at CONICET and Assistant Professor in the Parasitology Department of ​​the FCByF. Within Dr. Serra’s group, her work focuses on studying the role of α-tubulin acetylation in the dynamics of the cytoskeleton in the flagellate protozoan Trypansoma cruzi, particularly in the characterization of the enzymes responsible for this post-transcriptional modification. These are potential target mechanisms for the development of new trypanosidal drugs. She has received the Mention for the best Thesis in Biological Sciences 2016 from the Secretary of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (SGCTIP); Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology of Santa Fe, Argentina.
