Silvia Navarro

About

I hold a degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Biological Science from the National University of Tucuman, Argentina. My doctoral research focused on the development of innovative broad-spectrum antimicrobial molecules, leveraging advanced techniques in genetic engineering, microbiology, and biotechnology. Currently, I am a Research Associate at Newcastle University, where my research interests converge at the intersection of biotechnology, synthetic biology, and computing science. I am dedicated to develop novel methods for in vivo information processing, utilizing synthetic biology, DNA/RNA nanotechnology and computing technology to expand the horizons of scientific innovation.
