Professor Judith Zilberman (Argentina)

What important career challenges have you faced and how did you overcome them?

One of the most important career challenges I had to face was in deciding to do research, and how to come up with an idea for it.

To overcome those challenges I asked my mentors for help, and they provided me with the possibility of doing hospital rotations in different places, like Jackson Mississippi, or the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina.

The support of my family was also a great help in overcoming this challenge.

What advice would you give your younger self?

My advice is to have tutors that will guide you throughout your career and professional development.

Highlight your most significant research contributions and publications (3-5) – if relevant to you.
