FILADELFIA, 9 de junio de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pew Charitable Trusts anunció hoy la nueva clase de becarios latinoamericanos Pew en Ciencias Biomédicas.

Diez científicos posdoctorales innovadores de Latinoamérica recibirán dos años de financiamiento para llevar a cabo investigaciones en laboratorios e instituciones académicas de los Estados Unidos. Los becarios, originalmente de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y México, tienen diversos intereses de investigación que van desde el estudio de la neurobiología del gusto hasta el estudio de redes genéticas de control  del crecimiento de plantas.

Los becarios latinoamericanos llevarán a cabo su trabajo bajo la mentoría de algunos de los investigadores más distinguidos de los Estados Unidos en el campo de las ciencias biomedicas, entre los que se encuentran ex alumnos del programa Pew Scholars in the Biomedical Sciences (Investigadores Pew en Ciencias Biomédicas).

"El programa de becarios latinoamericanos Pew surgió a partir del deseo de nuestros investigadores de contar con más oportunidades para intercambiar conocimientos y colaborar entre diferentes países", dijo Rebecca W. Rimel, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Pew. "Los investigadores seleccionados hoy se embarcaran en carreras emocionantes que ampliarán fronteras en las ciencias biomedicas, y se uniran a una red de científicos cuyo trabajo tiene el potencial de mejorar la salud humana y el bienestar alrededor del mundo".

Un componente central del programa es un premio adicional otorgado a los becarios que regresen a Latinoamérica después de su permanencia en los Estados Unidos y establezcan laboratorios de investigación independientes. Aproximadamente el 70 % de los becarios han aprovechado esa oportunidad y estan usando el entrenamiento adquirido en los Estados Unidos para ayudar a construir la infraestructura, bastante necesaria, para la exploración científica en la región.

"Durante 25 años, este programa ha sido capaz de identificar a los estudiantes graduados más talentosos de Latinoamérica y de brindarles oportunidades de capacitación avanzada en laboratorios destacados de los Estados Unidos", dijo Torsten N. Wiesel, M.D., ganador del premio Nobel de 1981 de Fisiología o Medicina, y presidente del comité asesor nacional del programa. "Muchos becarios han obtenido posiciones de liderazgo en universidades e institutos de investigación latinoamericanos, donde inspiran y forman a nuevas generaciones de investigadores biomédicos".
