Doing science in Latin America can be as exciting as it is challenging. Starting my laboratory for transcription and epigenetics in Chile after working in the USA has required deep conviction and constant effort. It is a long-term project aimed at creating new opportunities for the next generation of Chilean scientists, offering Latin American perspectives to contribute to science.

Exile, discovery, and resilience have shaped my journey as a group leader in Mexico. From exploring chromatin architecture to building a lab and community, this is how science became my vocation and my home.

Returning to Central Europe was appealing and challenging. Here, I reflect on my part in rebuilding a research career in Czechia and fostering a collaborative scientific community across the region.

After training internationally, I chose to return to Poland to start my own research group, a decision neither taken lightly nor regretted.

Returning to Brazil to establish a research laboratory was a decision fueled by hope, resilience, and the desire to create impact, despite ongoing challenges. Choosing to invest in science at home demands a deep personal commitment and a realistic view of the opportunities and obstacles ahead.
