My current research focuses on investigating genetics of male infertility using the versatile Drosophila model systems. When I am not in lab, you will usually find me planning my next travel itinerary or indulging myself in pop-culture, all while savouring a comforting bowl of ramen paired with a delightful bubble tea.

Currently, I am digging into the developmental aspects of the testis, for what I spend a lot of time drinking argentinean mate and analysing my single-cell RNA-sequencing dataset generated from marmoset testis at different timepoints of development. In my free time, I have mastered the art of binge watching series and I am fond of fruitful conversations with friends, colleagues or random people.

My project focusses on developing human stem cell based platforms to investigate early germ line and testis development. Outside the lab I like to capture the world through the lens of my camera and traveling to unknown countries. Also, I regulary enjoy a cold beer in Cavete.
