In 2012 Ariel Waisman obtained his Master’s degree in Biological Sciences from the School of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires. He completed his PhD at IQUIBICEN, FCEyN, UBA under the direction of Dr. Alejandra Guberman, investigating the role of the cell cycle in maintaining and changing the identity of pluripotent stem cells. He did part of his doctorate at the Rockefeller University Molecular Embryology Laboratory, New York. After obtaining his PhD in 2017, he began his post-doctorate under the direction of Dr. Santiago Miriuka at FLENI. Ariel also served as a teaching assistant of various subjects at the FCEyN UBA between 2011 and 2017. In 2021 he entered the CONICET Research Career at LIAN-FLENI.

In 2022 he started his independent group in the laboratory where he continues his studies of gene regulatory networks in pluripotent stem cells, cardiac differentiation and regeneration, temporality in embryonic development and placental differentiation.
