After three and a half incredibly productive years with us, Agustín (Agu) Mangiarotti is moving on to new adventures. During his time here, he published several high-impact papers, introduced innovative techniques, and brought fresh perspectives to the lab. Beyond his scientific contributions, Agu was a great colleague – always engaging and ready to laugh at funny and not-so-funny jokes.
We’ll miss you, Agu, and wish you all the best in your next chapter!
