Tomás Peters

Desde chico queriendo saber cómo funcionan las cosas con especial interés en las ciencias biológicas, la tecnología y las ciencias de la salud. Hoy soy un estudiante avanzado de biotecnología y biología molecular acostumbrado a colaborar en contextos diversos e interdisciplinarios, con gran predisposición para aprender cosas nuevas.
Participe durante mi formación academia como pasante en distintos laboratorios y grupos de extensión de la Universidad de La Plata . Actualmente soy tesinista de grado en el laboratorio de biología celular del RNA donde día a día alimento mi curiosidad y mi constante deseo de aprender e investigar.
