In turn, he chose one of the platinum Conex For the most important people in science and technology to receive Konex de Brillante, the highest award given by the Foundation. They are: Sandra Diaz Y Gabriel Rabinovitch.
He Epidemiologist Gabriel Rabinovitch Recently launched a biotechnology company with public-private investment in Institute of Biological and Experimental Medicine (Ibyme). Its goal is to develop innovative treatments against cancer and autoimmune diseases based on the key protein Galectin-1.
Rabinovitch is a leading immunologist and glycobiologist with an innate ability to inspire others. He is deeply committed to his programs and interdisciplinary sciences, and values his education at the public university, from its origins in Córdoba to its development in Buenos Aires.
After three decades of doing science in Argentina, as a senior researcher at Konizet and a professor at the University of Buenos Aires, he created a group like a big family, published 320 scientific articles and won many national and international awards. A member of the Academies of Science in the United States and Europe, Rabinovitch founded this year the country’s first technology-based institute dedicated to the development of sugar science, which provides concrete products for patients suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis and vascular diseases.
The Biologist Sandra Dias He is a senior researcher at Coniset and a research professor in UNC’s Faculty of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences. He has received important distinctions such as membership of the United States and French Academies of Science and the Princess of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technological Research in 2019.
That year, he was named one of the „Ten Most Important People in Science” by the prestigious journal Nature. Additionally, in 2019 it was awarded the Bunke and Born Foundation Science Awards.
Thias is a senior researcher at Konizet and a research professor in the Faculty of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences at UNC. He has received important distinctions such as Member of the United States and French Academies of Sciences And the prize Princess of Asturias Science and Technology Research in 2019. That year he was named one of the „Ten Most Important People in Science” by the prestigious Nature. This year he received a prestigious international award from the Linnean Society of London.
The findings of their research are not confined to the laboratory, but are amplified in the context of the environmental crisis: „We always try to place our contribution in a wider context. We are clear that despite the crisis, Biodiversity It has to do with biology, the underlying causes are all social, economic, cultural, political. Therefore, any attempt to solve it biologically alone will fail. Whether things change or not depends on the willingness and interest of the actors involved. Not from scientific arguments. But having them on the table helps us understand certain things and empowers actors who want change,” he said in April this year.
