My scientific background is in beef nutrigenomics, which consists of the administration of strategic diets to animals and the study of changes in the metabolism produced by changes in the expression of genes. My passion for science started in college, where I was involved in multiple research projects related to animal production, meat quality, and growth and physiology in beef cattle. I was awarded a scholarship from Argentina to pursue a master’s degree in animal science at the University of Illinois. For the first 2 years at Illinois, I have concentrated my studies in muscle growth and developmental physiology because of my profound interest in adipose tissue development and muscle growth in beef cattle. For my Ph.D., I shifted my focus slightly to cow-calf management with the aim to assess epigenetic regulation based on fetal programming studies. Furthermore, I have postdoctoral experience as a research assistant at Kansas State University where I moved to a completely different area of research, dairy calves’ behavior and immunology. Finally, at Auburn University, my research area returned to fetal programming studies in beef cattle from a nutrigenomics standpoint. My overall research goal is to detect biomarkers for animal selection and to determine if certain nutritional additives (i.e., bypass amino acids and vitamins) can produce any metabolic changes at the transcriptome, proteome, metabolome or microbiome level that could benefit the productivity of the animal. Now at the University of Tennessee, my intention is to expand even more my knowledge in the omics field with the addition of single-cell analysis and establish good collaboration with peer faculty members.
