Famous Hispanic


For my person I chose Bernardo Aberto Houssay.  He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 10, 1887.  He was a scientist who won a Nobel Prize for his research of pituitary hormones in the regulation of blood sugar.  He was very smart and started college at age 14 and he received his M.D degree at age 23.  He founded the Institute of Physiology and also the Institute of Biogoly and Experimental Medicine.  One of his top discoveries dealth with the onset of diabetes, which has helped us now to truly understand what diabetes are and things that help maintain it.
