Biography:
I am an ECR from INTA Argentina working in bovine TB (bTB). I am focused in the study of the interaction within the mycobacteria and the bovine immune system. My other areas of expertise are biomarkers of infection and protection in bTB and the evaluation of attenuated mutants of M. bovis as candidate vaccines.
