Our September Immunopaedia Ambassador of the month is Mariana Rivera Patron, PhD fellow & research/teaching assistant based at Departamento de Desarrollo Biotecnológico, Instituto de Higiene, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de la República (Montevideo, Uruguay). In this interview, she discusses her experience being an ambassador, why she became an immunologist, and contributions she has made to the Immunopaedia platform.
