Horacio M Pallarés earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, under the guidance of Dr. Andrea Gamarnik at Fundacion Instituto Leloir. In 2024, Pallarés joined the Bazzini Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. His research interest lies in neglected viral tropical diseases, particularly focusing on dengue and Zika virus infections, which present significant challenges in his home country. These viruses intricately manipulate cellular mechanisms to facilitate their replication while evading innate antiviral defenses. Pallarés is deeply committed to unraveling these intricate host-pathogen interactions to uncover novel insights. His ultimate aim is to pinpoint potential targets for the development of innovative antiviral therapies.
