Biography: Currently I´m holding a position as Professor in the school of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina. I also hold a position as Researcher in the Institute of Cardiological Research “Prof. Dr. Alberto C. Taquini” (ININCA) at National Council for Scientific Research (CONICET). I´ve received my degrees of M.D. and Pharmacist in the University of Buenos Aires as well as my Ph.D in pathophysiology from the same institution. My area of interest includes hypertension, metabolic syndrome and the gastro-intestinal renal axis. We are currently developing different lines of work: - Interaction between vasoactive peptides and renal dopamine in renal function - Participation of the renal dopaminergic system and atrial natriuretic peptide in the pathophysiology of hypertension and renal damage in the metabolic syndrome - Study of cardiovascular and renal alterations in different models of arterial hypertension (sodium overload, renovascular and DOCA-salt models) - Evaluation of oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathophysiology of renal damage by the renin angiotensin system in experimental models with fructose overload and high fat diet. - Circadian evaluation of renal dopaminergic system and its correlation with blood pressure levels. - Clinical evaluation and potential use of new urinary markers as predictors of cardiovascular disease risk.
- Role of chloride anion in the pathophysiology of renal damage by sodium chloride overload.
- The gastrointestinal renal axis in the regulation of blood pressure (including gut microbiota)
