Cintia Arias

Officer

Since the beginning of her career, Cintia was intrigued about the processes that allow cells to function and how metabolites and enzymes act as connectors between different purposes. During her undergraduate, doctoral and postdoctoral studies in Argentina, Cintia studied a particular family of enzymes of the central metabolism involving not only their structural and kinetic differences but also their independent contribution to certain key processes of the plant life.
