Mariana Rivera Patron
PhD Student
Departamento de Desarrollo Biotecnológico, Instituto de Higiene, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de la República (UdelaR). Montevideo, Uruguay.
I hold a degree in Biochemistry (Facultad de Ciencias, UdelaR, Uruguay) and I am currently enrolled in a Biological Sciences PhD program (PEDECIBA-UdelaR, Uruguay), studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the adjuvant effect conferred by saponins extracted from the native tree Quillaja brasiliensis.
Since the early start of my career I have been delighted by the immune system.

Since the early start of my career I have been delighted by the immune system. Over seven years, I've had the chance to develop professionally in a global animal health vaccine manufacturing company where I got involved in all the components of the complex vaccine-manufacturing process. This has been a great experience that has allowed me to explore a very interesting approach to the fascinating field of vaccines. As my vocational area is undoubtedly scientific research, and in particular vaccinology, I have been linked to the Departamento de Desarrollo Biotecnológico since 2011. In 2016 I had the opportunity to join fully as a postgraduate student, thus starting my education and training as a researcher. I am particularly focused on vaccines, adjuvants and the immune system, and therefore all my studies are concentrated in those areas.
