Hello! I'm Mylena...

... a PhD. student in Laboratorio de Genética evolutiva in Misiones, Argentina,

investigating the genetic basis of traits potentially involved in adaptation and

speciation in Neotropical cichlids known as Juanitas.

​

I am also interested in genome evolution, genomic conflicts and chromosomal rearrangements.

​​
I am super happy of being able to study these wonderful fish species from my own region. And I enjoy communicating our findings to my local community!​

Through this project I get to achieve a fulfilling scientific career, in which I get to combine my scientific interests and outdoor activities that I used to enjoy as hobby (photography, trekking, snorkeling).
