She later obtained a Licenciatura in Biological Sciences from the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, University of Buenos Aires, when she was only 21 years old. The first in her family to attend graduate school, Silveyra obtained her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Biological Chemistry from the University of Buenos Aires at age 26 after completing her doctoral thesis at the Instituto de Biología y Medicina Experimental and obtaining doctoral scholarships from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council and the Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica.[4][5]
