My argentine friend

My today’s post is related to a person that lives in another country, the expert I admire in my field, that is particularly molecular biology in Chagas disease, is a person I met when I was in Argentina, in the laboratory of Research Institute of Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology (INGEBI) at the University of Buenos Aires, where  I did an internship. Her name is Margarita Bissio, a doctoral fellow and partner who helped me understand more of the real time PCR and their use. She is not only an expert in making, but also a very good person. One day, I went with her to teach children in a poor neighborhood in a house that had organized support with others, outside a typical Argentinian village, because they could not study in their own homes. She was very patient to teach them and me in the lab, helping me a lot in the research. When we had some free time, she showed me around the city; we celebrated Chilean national holidays on September eighteen with a barbecue with other lab mates and Cristian, was visiting me in those days. I had a great time and learned a lot about the technique that helps me to research today.
