Molecular Biologist, Father-of-three.
Huge news from here! From 2024 on, the @IHSM_CSIC_UMA in Málaga, Spain, will be the new house of my lab. I'm very excited about joining @CSIC in this new challenge. I hope this also allows me to help my Argentinean colleagues who are facing very dark times now (1/2).

𝐏𝐆𝐑𝐏𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 - 𝐌𝐚́𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐚 Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants 🌱🧬 🗺️ Beautiful city of Málaga (Spain) 🗓️ 5 -7 October 2026 Organizers: @Laurha_AH @manavellalab @k_merchante More info: very soon!

📣The Plant Cell is recruiting Assistant Features Editors. The application period opens now and runs through September 15, 2025!🌱 👉Application information can be found at this link: blog.aspb.org/the-plant-cell… #plantscience
Not everything translates from Arabidopsis to crop plants. A group of us had fun considering aspects that have been Lost in Translation. An emerging theme was that still many insights can be gained through comparison with Arabidopsis. academic.oup.com/plcell/article…
I’m happy to share that our collaborative commentary is out! In defense of funding foundational plant science academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Embracing the challenges ahead: a new chapter for the plant cell leadership @ASPB @ThePlantCell academic.oup.com/plcell/article…
El cientificidio avanza: el Gobierno confirmó que no habrá nuevos ingresantes al CONICET ni tampoco entrarán los de 2023 tiempoar.com.ar/ta_article/el-…
The @AfricanPlantGen has started!!! Such a cool initiative! I'm very happy to be here, share our science, and also explore which opportunities @ThePlantCell can bring to the global south.




Excited to share our latest work: “Echoes of 1816: Microbial Footprints in Heritage Artifacts from Argentina’s Museum of Independence” 🇦🇷🦠📚 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We explored the invisible microbial ecosystems inhabiting centuries-old objects. A thread👇
📢 We meant it when we said we had something for everyone! Participants of the African Plant Genomics Symposium will learn how to get their research findings published in top scientific journals. 🧑🔬📝🌱🧬 We are excited for the presentations from Science and from The Plant Cell!
Call for Papers: 2027 Focus Issue on Specialized Metabolites. This focus issue aims to provide a forum to improve our understanding of plant specialized metabolism. Submission Deadline: 05/2026. academic.oup.com/plcell/pages/t… #plantscience
👇 Check out our new preprint on two of my favorite things: transposons and strawberries 🧬🍓🤓
Does the smell and flavor of strawberries depend on variations in gene-associated transposons? It seems so! Check out our new preprint — a great collaboration with @DavePosePadilla @CarmenMartinPi2. Kudos to @IleanaDrt ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
