BIO

Victoria obtained a BSc degree in Biology at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2010. As an undergraduate, she performed a research project at the Medical School studying the effect of high levels of noise on locomotion activity in rodent models. After graduation she pursued her PhD in Biological Chemistry at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Buenos Aires, supervised by Dr Roberto Etchenique. During graduate studies, she was visiting researcher in the Sleep and Dreams Lab at the Brain Institute in Universidad Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brasil, supervised by Dr Sidarta Ribeiro. During her PhD, she focused on the synthesis and characterization of caged compounds and their in vivo use as a tool in neurology.​
In 2016, Victoria joined the Neuronal Ensembles and Dendritic Spines Lab at Columbia University, New York, USA as a Postdoctoral Researcher, where she continued her research on the study of caged compounds in the mouse brain cortex. In 2018, she moved as Postdoctoral Researcher in the Bioelectronic Systems Lab, also at Columbia University, where she established methods to study novel implanatable neural interfaces in vivo. ​
Victoria joined the Nanomedicine Lab in March 2024 as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Preclinical Neuropathology, funded by EIC MINIGRAPH project. Her research is focused on using nanomaterials and neural interface devices used for stimulation, recording and as therapeutic molecule transport systems to the diseased central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). ​
