Commitment of doctoral students to the Institution

Izpisua's masterful lesson
Dr. Izpisúa emphasized in his speech that he and his team of researchers have succeeded in getting cells from within an embryo to give way to different organs.
"The results we obtained give hope in the fight of rejection in transplants. We get human cells to grow inside the embryo of a pig and are being educated to become the organ that needs to be transplanted. Investigate, "said the professor.
Izpisúa also explained that "there are billions of letters in the cells, which causes that in the division of the same, mistakes are made.There are more than eight thousand monogenetic diseases.We investigate to correct those errors, we try to put the letter missing".
The researcher says that "unfortunately in our country, scientific culture is not something we have learned in our generation, so I trust in the new generations, so we can educate them and see how important it is to investigate and try to improve human health Therefore finding an institution like this and people like its president, who firmly believe in it, is an exception.
