Biography

Agronomist, Master of Science in Plant Production with a specialization in Phytopathology, and Doctor of Agricultural Sciences. Head of the Potato Seed Analysis Laboratory at EEA INTA Balcarce from 2012 to the present. Initiated her research lines in soil fungi affecting Allium species (Fusarium sp and Sclerotium cepivorum) at EEA INTA La Consulta. Later, she moved to EEA INTA Balcarce, where she conducts her research on viruses affecting potato crops. She has carried out studies on the epidemiology of Tomato spotted wilt virus and its vector, and on techniques for virus detection in potato tubers. Technical Head of the Potato Health Laboratory from 2012 to date. She also participated in the development of the "SGC Sanidad Papa" Quality Management System, a tool for managing late blight in potatoes. She has been a guest lecturer in postgraduate courses in Phytopathological Clinic and undergraduate courses in Potato Cultivation, and an adjunct professor in Plant Pathology. She has taught courses on Viral Diseases in potato crops and detection of potato viruses by serology.Relevant publications.
