He did his PhD at the Fundacion Instituto Leloir under the mentorship of Luis F. Leloir and his postdoctoral training in Jorge H. Crosa s laboratory at the Oregon Health & Sciences University, where he studied virulence and antibiotic resistance plasmids in Gram-negatives. His current research focuses on several basic and applied aspects of plasmid-mediated multidrug resistance and virulence. He was a coeditor of the book Enzyme-Mediated Resistance to Antibiotics: Mechanisms, Dissemination, and Prospects for Inhibition (ASM Press). See less
