Soledad is a postdoctoral researcher in the FunRNA team at the Institut des Sciences des Plantes de Paris-Saclay, Université Paris-Saclay, working under the supervision of Dr. Martin Crespi in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Blein. Her research explores how microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs regulate plant responses to phosphate deficiency and shape root developmental programs, with a particular focus on legumes. Combining molecular genetics, genomics, and quantitative phenotyping, her work aims to unravel RNA-based mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to nutrient stress.

Soledad received her PhD in Plant Molecular Biology from the National University of La Plata in Argentina, where she studied post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms controlling root architecture and nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. Throughout her career, she has integrated molecular genetics, genomics, and phenotyping approaches to understand how RNA-based regulation shapes plant adaptation. She is also actively engaged in scientific communication and mentoring early-career researchers. Outside the lab, she enjoys baking, traveling, doing sports, and reading.
