Professional Profiles:

šŸ“š Education:

Dr. Marion Daniela Marchetti completed her university studies with an undergraduate degree in Food Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering (FI) at the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMDP) on June 15, 2015. She further pursued her education and obtained a postgraduate degree as a Doctor of Industrial Chemistry from the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences (FCEyN) at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) on July 11, 2022. Her doctoral thesis titled “Development of salting and desalting processes for hake, evaluating microbiological, physicochemical, rheological, and sensory aspects” was directed by Dr. AnalĆ­a BelĆ©n GarcĆ­a Loredo. Dr. Marchetti then engaged in post-doctoral training focusing on the valorization of underutilized fish species and industrial processing discards. Under the guidance of Dr. GarcĆ­a Loredo, she conducted research at the Research Group on Food Preservation and Quality (GIPCAL), Institute of Food Science and Technology and Environment (INCITAA), FI, UNMDP, from August 1, 2022, to August 1, 2025.

 

Research :

In the realm of experimental and technological development, Dr. Marion Daniela Marchetti has actively contributed as a collaborating group member in various projects. From March 2023 to March 2025, she participated in a project titled “Valorization of underutilized fish species and industrial processing discards through the development of surimi” at UNMDP. Additionally, she was involved in an applied research project at CONICET from January 2023 to January 2025. This project focused on the design of technological and biotechnological processes for the development of innovative products aimed at enhancing the comprehensive utilization and valorization of fishery resources. Dr. Marchetti also engaged in projects at UNMDP and the National Agency for the Promotion of Science and Technology Research and Innovation (ANPCYT) – Fund for Scientific and Technological Research (FONCYT) from January 2021 to January 2022 and from January 2018 to January 2020, respectively. These projects centered around the combination of traditional and emerging technologies to improve the quality and shelf life of fish products, as well as the development of the salting and desalting process of fish, considering various physicochemical, microbiological, rheological, and sensory aspects.
