The Gobierno decides that in 2021 it will be in honor of a Nobel Prize in Argentine Medicine

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the Government decided that the 2021 will be the year in which to César Milstein. The Doctor of Chemistry born in Bahia Blanca celebrates the last Argentine to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine (1984). This is the establishment of the Decree 18/2021, signed by the President Alberto Fernández and published this Friday in the Official Bulletin.

If it is a habitual medium, then at the beginning of each new cycle the authorities will name a national historical figure that will be extended to the next 12 months; without embarrassment, on this occasion, acquires a significant mayor for the person who is elected in a particular context.

In this way, all the official documentation of the national, centralized and decentralized public administration, as well as in the self-reliant entities that depend on it, the lie will be “2021 – Year of homage to the Nobel Prize in Medicine Dr. César Milstein ”. This member will appear, for example, in one of the readings that the Congress approves between January and December.

In addition, the standard indicates that the Executive Power must carry out tense actions to distance and remember the figure of this historical figure and “his valious contribution to scientific development”.

The doctor was born in 1927. His father was a Russian citizen in 1913 who learned the idiom with desire and won the life of the country as a business traveler. His mother was a master. So much so, Cesar was the midwife of the three warriors.

Studied at the UBA, received chemistry and read his doctorate. While doing so, he had to pedal to a place in his prestigious investigation team Bernardo Alberto Houssay, another Nobel Prize in Medicine, but not on holiday. I highly recommend it to Dr. Andrés Stoppani, which is accepted by the enthusiasm of the youth.

Time of a time. obtuvo one for perfecting at the University of Cambridge, in England, at Fred Sanger’s tutelage. Poco has returned to Argentina to occupy the cargo of molecular biology at the Malbrán Institute.

In 1975, together with German George Kohler publish in the magazine Science a job in which dieron conocer the monoclonal anticorps, a revolutionary hall of fame for science. This discovery produces an important change in the process of reconnaissance and reading of the cells and molecules extracted from the immunological system.

The technique consists in the production of antibodies or proteins capable of attacking invasive substances in the patient in order to direct specifically to a cell type. Estos anticuerpos’ production in the laboratory su uso es tan amplio que se extiende a lucha against cancer, embarrassment tests, diagnostic methods and the production of vacancies.

For this job I received the October 15, 1984 the Nobel Prize in Medicine, convertiéndose in the last Argentine to obtain this galardon has the moment. Antes que el lo había conseguido Bernardo Houssay, in 1947.

They are summed up Luis Federico Leloir, which in 1970 received the Chemica, and Carlos Saavedra Lamas and Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, quienes obtuvieron el de la Paz en 1936 en 1980, respectively.

“Part of a person is his education. Y yo toda mi educación la hice en mi país. He was first arrested ten years ago, ”said César Milstein in an interview on March 24, 2002 in Cambridge.

Among those considering, the Gobierno signaled that in the context of coronavirus, “the role of scientific research as a cure for overcoming the pandemic and as a means to record recovery, socioeconomic development, the result of emdation”.

In this sense, it is recorded that “in the year 2021, 60 years of Dr. Cesar Milstein’s regression in the Argentine Republic will be completed, an opportunity appointed by Jefe of the Department of Molecular Biology of the National Institute of Microbiology Carlos Malbrán”, one of the organisms which has great relevance in the market of the lucha against the COVID-19.

In addition, the national authorities report that the Legacy of Medicine “transcends the frontiers of the country, and its descriptions of the monoclonal antiquities configure a hit in the history of medicine and influence in various specialties such as immunology, oncology also in industry ”.

It is detailed that, thanks to this hallazgo, “in the last few years possible the development of various innovative pharmacies, as medicines to prevent transplantation, passive immunization for the Respiratory Syndrome virus, co-operative therapy for psoriasis and Crohn’s disease or superficial hydradenitis, and allow better survival and quality of life of patients and cancer patients ”.

De hecho, el uso de anticuerpos monoclonal is considered one of the most promising treats to combat the COVID-19, can be used as a prophylactic drug for rapid action in people exposed to the virus.

Ultimately, Gobierno noted that “Dr. Milstein maintained a deep compromise with science and promoted universal access and availability of the company for the benefit of society in its conjunction, rewarding benefits and economic benefits.

For this reason, the President decided to take this step forward with the proposal to “value and honor” the medical consultation tray directory “which in turn reflects the values ​​of integrity and dedication, as well as the ethics in conducting research. and technology, and the vocation of service ”.
