Tell us about yourself and your research interests:
I’m a PhD student at the Laboratory of Oncological Inmunology in the IMEX–CONICET–ANM in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At our lab, we study Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, particularly, we are focused on the ability of activated T cells to induce resistance to venetoclax. We are searching for therapeutic strategies to overcome this phenomenon. In this sense, we are studying the role of sphingosine kinases in leukemic cells and in the tumor microenvironment. I’m interested in this pro-survival role of T cells in leukemia, but also in the possibility of potentiate their cytotoxic properties.
