Science, collaboration, and internationalization
Dr. Quatrini's participation in the panel “Precision medicine and therapies of the future: Advances in genomics, cell therapy, and precision medicine” made it possible to highlight the research lines promoted by the USS Faculty of Science and the entrepreneurship ecosystem of the Centro Basal Ciencia & Vida , as well as to reinforce the institutional presence in international cooperation spaces linked to biotechnology, bio-entrepreneurship, and scientific research.
The congress highlighted the relevance of the synergy between academic institutions and the productive sector as the basis for sustainable development.
“This initiative was extremely inspiring. An excellent effort by a provincial government to articulate the relevant actors to link academia with industry and capital funds, and thus support regional development,” commented the academic. “I am very grateful to have been part of this first event, to the USS for creating these encounters, to ProCórdoba , to Pablo De Chiara and his team, for the invitation. Definitely, an instance that will strengthen the collaboration agenda between Argentina and Chile.”
