María Gabriela Mediavilla is graduated from Facultad de Ciencias Bioquímicas y Farmacéuticas (FCByF) de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario as Bachelor’s in Biotechnology; she completed her PhD at the Molecular Biology Area of the same School and University, under the supervision of Dr. Edgardo E. Guibert. She spent her postdoctoral stage at Centro Studi Fegato, TS, Italy. Currently, she is a member of the Researcher Carrier at CONICET, Associated Researcher at the Group of Biology and Biochemistry of Trypanosoma cruzi at this Institute (IBR, CONICET/UNR) and teaching assistant at Molecular Biology Chair of FCByF (UNR). Previously she has worked in the design of preservation solutions for livers destinated to organ transplantation, studying strategies to reduce the cold-ischemia/reperfusion oxidative injury occurring in these procedures. She also was part of the Bacterial Pathogenesis Group of this Institute.

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.

Daniela Albanesi received a Ph. D. in Biological Sciences in March 2006 from the National University of Rosario, Argentina. She got training in crystallogenesis and X-ray protein crystallography during two consecutive short-term visits (2004 and 2005) and a postdoctorate (2006-2008) at the Unit of Structural Biochemistry (nowadays, the Unit of Structural Microbiology) of the Pasteur Institute, Paris, France (2006-2008). Since 2009, she is a Career Investigator from the Research Council of Argentina (CONICET) where she holds the Independent Researcher category since 2016. She is the head at the Molecular Microbiology Laboratory at the IBR in Rosario, Argentina and she is also permanent staff of the Platform of Structural Biology and Metabolomics of Argentina (PLABEM). At present, her projects focus on the study of the mechanisms underlying the control of membrane homeostasis and cell envelope biogenesis in Gram-positive bacteria. Since 2001, she is a teaching assistant at the National University of Rosario, Argentina.

Gabriela Coux has a degree in Biotechnology from the Faculty of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCByF) of the National University of Rosario (UNR). She completed her PhD at the Institute of Experimental Physiology (IFISE) of the same Faculty, under the direction of Dr. María Mónica Elías. She did her postdoctoral studies at the IBR under the direction of Dr. Marcelo Cabada, and post-doctoral research stays at the University of Massachusetts, USA. She is an Associate Professor of Biophysics at FCByF-UNR. She is currently an Independent Researcher at CONICET, and Director of the project Regulation of genes controlling craniofacial morphogenesis. Her group studies the molecular mechanisms of embryonic craniofacial development, both under physiological and pathological circumstances.
Bioinformatics, biophysics, biochemistry, microscopy & molecular biology are the group’s favorite tools. And the zebrafish is the protagonist of these studies.
