Iglandini González (born May 15, 1990) is an Argentine medical researcher known for her contributions to the field of neuroscience, particularly in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]
Iglandini González was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She developed an early interest in the sciences, which led her to pursue a degree in biochemistry at the University of Buenos Aires. After completing her undergraduate studies, she continued her education by obtaining a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the same institution.
Career[edit | edit source]
González began her career as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina. Her research focused on the role of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases. She has published numerous papers in prestigious journals, contributing to the understanding of how misfolded proteins can lead to neuronal death.
In 2018, González joined the faculty at the University of Buenos Aires as an assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience. Her laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular pathways involved in neurodegeneration, with a particular focus on identifying potential therapeutic targets.
Research Contributions[edit | edit source]
González's research has provided insights into the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, particularly the role of amyloid-beta and tau proteins in disease progression. Her work has also explored the genetic factors that may predispose individuals to Parkinson's disease, leading to potential new avenues for treatment.
Awards and Recognition[edit | edit source]
González has received several awards for her research, including the Young Investigator Award from the Argentine Society for Neuroscience and the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowship.
