Favio Pesaola Biologist and PhD in Biological Sciences from the National University of Córdoba-Argentina. Former Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellow of the National Council for Scientific Research of the Argentine Republic-CONICET. Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the Washington University in Saint Louis School of Medicine (MO, United States). My scientific career was focused on the genetic and cellular study of NCLs in general and variant 8 (CLN8) in particular, mainly on the regulation of the lysosomal system during the development of the disease. I am currently investigating the gene and biochemical regulation of the two major cellular degradation systems: lysosomal and proteasomal.
