Science & Friendship

This year we celebrated our 10th anniversary of our Science & Friendship Program. This program, that started in 2005, have received 35 Professors and more than 200 Graduate Students from UCSF. Among the Faculty that have come to Chile we have the world wide recognized scientists Bruce Alberts, Keith Yamamoto and Peter Walter. This year we have the visit of Dr. Dr. Pamela Munster, Director of the “Early Phase Clinical Trials Unit and Leader of Developmental Therapeutics Program” part of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center in San Francisco, CA. We all met with excitement and the result was a unique opportunity to share and talk about science without intellectual barriers and full of collaborative atmosphere.

The goal of this program is to build a sustainable, multifaceted partnership that will serve as a model for scientific interaction across national boundaries with a particular focus on building lasting relationships between young scientists. By focusing on graduate students, it not only targets the group with most energy and innovative ideas, but also helps amalgamate the next generation of scientific leaders, thereby extending the benefits of the program beyond the foreseeable future.

As a UCSF student said “all participants go away with a sense of belonging in a scientific community, not only of their respective countries, but also of the world. This makes us better scientists for the future”.
