PhD Thesis
Laboratory of Molecular Virology, Fundación Instituto Leloir.

Title: “Studies of RNA structures that regulate dengue virus replication in humans and mosquitoes”. The objective of this thesis was the discover of new insights about DENGUE virus replication and was focused on the study of genome RNA structures. As result of combining a plethora of biochemical, cell culture, deep sequencing and bioinformatics experiments tools we discovered new important insights about RNA virus replications. The result of the these findings were published at high impact indexed journals.
