Marcos Giai is an Argentine researcher and biochemist who conducts research related to phytotoxicity, biochemistry, and water resources. Giai is affiliated with the Juan Agustín Maza University, located in the province of Mendoza, Argentina.
At this institution, Giai works as a researcher and professor. The studies carried out by the Argentine researcher are mainly focused on chemistry, and his primary research topics are water quality, textiles, vaccinations, and infections.
His most notable contributions are centered on water resources, anthropogenic action and its impact, and its relationship with tree species, especially those found in the province of Mendoza.
Giai and the academic field
In addition to his degree in Biochemistry from the National University of Córdoba, Giai also trained in Environmental Education and Water Resources at the National Technological University and the National University of Cuyo, respectively.
He also studied Drugs of Abuse at the Interamerican Open University. Regarding his professional career, Giai has served as a professor at various academic institutions.
First, he was Head of Practical Work related to hospital biochemical practices in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at the National University of Córdoba.
Later, the Argentine researcher was a Chemistry professor at the Technical High School of the Argentine Army.
In addition, Giai is Head of Practical Work in the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. The Argentine biochemist is also a professor in research methodology and biostatistics, among other subjects, at the Institute of Teaching, Research, and Labor Training in Health.
Giai and his scientific career
The Argentine biochemist first worked as a researcher in the Department of Neurosciences at the National University of Cuyo.
Later, Giai became director of research at the Juan Agustín Maza University, where the studies are related to issues concerning metabolic disorders, specifically in young adults.
Additionally, the Argentine researcher is research director at the University of Aconcagua, where the studies focus on depression in young adults.
At these institutions, the Argentine researcher addresses topics such as hypertension in young adults. Giai relates it to calcemia levels and proposes studying the link between low calcium concentrations and the presence of hypertension.
Furthermore, the Argentine researcher conducts investigations focused on the way in which contamination of anthropogenic origin — such as detergents and hydrocarbons — affects water resources and, therefore, the growth of tree species.
He has also co-authored studies dedicated to metabolic disorders in young adults and early indicators of such conditions, the diet of young adults and its influence on calcemia levels, and various health threats, particularly those affecting the kidneys.
Together with colleagues, Giai also conducts research on water phytotoxicity and its relationship with tree species, as this helps to analyze how anthropogenic activity impacts water resources.
The study of water resources
Biochemistry is the discipline responsible for the chemical composition of living beings, specifically regarding the molecules within cells and tissues.
This science also studies the chemical processes that occur within living organisms and how they relate to biological functions.
Within the field of Biochemistry, various studies address topics related to water resources.
Many national and international studies are dedicated to phytotoxicity.
Phytotoxicity can be described as the effects that chemical substances have on plants, altering their growth, metabolism, and other functions.
In Argentina, Giai is one of the researchers who dedicates part of his work to this subject, and thus to the link between chemical substances and how they affect tree species.
In relation to the development of Biochemistry and its application to water resources, the Argentine researcher contributes to this field.
In addition to focusing on water resources and anthropogenic activity, Giai also conducts studies on the prevalence of infections, vaccination schemes, stress levels, the chemical quality of potable water, and water supply, among others.
The Argentine researcher produces scientific information and works within the field of Biochemistry, conducting studies on various topics related to the discipline.
