Victoria Lucia Alonso has a Bachelor degree in Biotechnology from the School of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCByF) of the National University of Rosario, completed her doctorate at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario (IBR-CONICET) of the same School under the direction of Dr. Esteban Serra. She did a posdoc in medicinal chemistry at the Research Institute for the Discovery of Pharmaceuticals of Rosario (IIDEFAR-UNR) under the direction of Dr. Ricardo Furlan. She is currently an Assistant Researcher at CONICET and Assistant Professor in the Parasitology Department of the FCByF. Within Dr. Serra's group, her work focuses on studying the role of α-tubulin acetylation in the dynamics of the cytoskeleton in the flagellate protozoan Trypansoma cruzi, particularly in the characterization of the enzymes responsible for this post-transcriptional modification. These are potential target mechanisms for the development of new trypanosidal drugs.
