Profª. Dra. Visitación Teresa Dora Conforti de Marconi (born 1953) is an Argentine biologist, algologist, botanist, taxonomist and ecologist. She is a professor in the Department of Biodiversity and Experimental Biology in the University of Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires.[1] She is noted for her numerous taxonomic studies of Euglenophyta, including in polluted rivers in Argentina.[2] Camaleão Lake in Brazil in 1994 and the Caura River in Venezuela in the late 1990s.[3]
Life
Visitación Teresa Dora Conforti de Marconi was born in 1953. In 1973 she obtained her degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires. At the same university, in 1983 she defended her doctoral thesis on Morphology, taxonomy and stereo ultrastructure of the euglenophyta of the Buenos Aires area.
She has specialized in the kingdom of the Protists, contributing several scientific works on the subject.[1] She is one of the leading researchers into euglenids in Latin America.[4]
From September 1988 to the present, she has been a full-time associate professor.
