Mariana Noto Guillen

I graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Molecular Biology. In Dr. Adali Pecci’s lab, my undergraduate thesis focused on studying the role of the glucocorticoid and the liver X receptors in the modulation of inflammation. Currently, I am a graduate student in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology program at UMass Medical School. I joined the Mitchell lab where I’m using a genomic approach to uncover the metabolic interactions in microbial communities. I am also working with Brittany to systematically understand the impact of host-targeted drugs on bacterial growth. When I’m not in the lab, I love to spend my time dancing or climbing.
