Contribution and recognition
His scientific contributions stand him out as an internationally recognized personality in the field of Molecular Neuroendocrinology. His laboratory contributed to the discovery of new genes and pathways involved in the physiological adaptation to homeostasis in response to stress, hypoxia (lack of cellular oxygen), physiopathological processes (pituitary tumors), discovering new targets for pharmacological treatments.
His recognition is based not only on his findings, which are an example of research in biomedicine, transferring results from basic molecular biology to pharmacological applications, but also on his vast institutional achievements for Argentinean and Latin-American science, including an active and important role in the development and realization of the project of the Polo Científico Tecnológico and the creation of the Biomedicine Research Institute of Buenos Aires - CONICET - Partner Institute of the Max Planck Society. He has received, for its ongoing work, both prestigious Argentine (Bunge and Born, Houssay Award) and International (Guggenheim Fellowship, External Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society, Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany) awards and distinctions.
