Ventura is currently participating as a researcher in training in the following projects funded by the University of Buenos Aires: "Evaluation of risk factors and strategies for the prevention and treatment of prevalent oral diseases in individuals facing high social vulnerability" and "Design and evaluation of strategies for the prevention and treatment of prevalent oral diseases in populations experiencing high social vulnerability." Her specific contributions have been in epidemiology of dental caries, strategies for stabilizing dental caries, and removing decayed dental tissue with minimal intervention. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Dentistry with the research topic, "Design and evaluation of a proteolytic enzyme release system for the chemical treatment of dental caries," which is aimed at developing innovative solutions for the treatment of dental caries.
The IADR Norton Ross Fellowship allows a dental or postgraduate student to obtain training and experience in dental or related research. It is awarded every other year and rotates among the IADR Divisions. The 2024 award has been designated for the IADR Argentine Division.

Measuring improvement in the design of pulses for quantum systems
2024-04-09
Seeking a method for reducing error in noisy quantum systems, Kajsa Williams and Louis-S. Bouchard, researchers at the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, implemented and evaluated single-qubit gates performance using specially designed composite and adiabatic pulses. While they found no particular advantages in terms of leakage and seepage of the gates compared to standard gates, robustness to control field error was greatly improved. Their research ...
New technique sheds light on memory and learning
2024-04-09
Less than twenty minutes after finishing this article, your brain will begin to store the information that you’ve just read in a coordinated burst of neuronal activity. Underpinning this process is a phenomenon known as dendritic translation, which involves an uptick in localized protein production within dendrites, the spiny branches that project off the neuron cell body and receive signals from other neurons at synapses. It’s a process key to memory—and its dysfunction is linked to intellectual disorders.
That makes the inner workings of dendritic translation a “holy grail for understanding memory formation,” says Rockefeller’s Robert ...
Unlocking the body's hidden weapon against cancer: the role of broken chromosomes
2024-04-09
Scientists have unraveled the mechanisms of the Cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway activated by micronuclei, as well as its significant effects on tumor immunity. This study illuminates how chromosomal instability, marked by micronuclei formation, plays a critical role in controlling the capacity of the innate immune system to regulate tumor progression. These findings deepen our understanding of the intricate relationship between ...

No Link Between Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability Says Large Sibling Study from Drexel University and Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet
PHILADELPHIA -- In the largest study to date on the subject, researchers found no evidence to support a causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD and intellectual disability in children. The findings, using data from a nationwide cohort of over 2.4 million children born in Sweden, including siblings not exposed to the drug before birth, were published today in the Journal of the ...
