The identification of the molecule involved in the metastasis of cancer cells - Rab5- It is part of the contents of the book of biology, directed to the 2nd media.

From the science of border to public education

The scientific development of the Dr. Vicente Torres is rooted in the public education. "I trained at a Conservatory - in Cerro Navia-, then at the Liceo of application and, At last, did, both my undergraduate and my postgraduate studies in the University of Chile. With the above, I think that it is of utmost relevance to deliver the best elements of back to the same public education which I was formed, not just from the professional and scientific perspective, but in addition to the personal experience, taking as an example that it is possible to develop science of excellence, internationally recognized", expressed the Dr. Torres.

From the knowledge of boundary that generates the academic FOUCh together with his research team, "it should not be a privilege that is communicated only in our own areas and traditional media such as journals, Congresses and seminars, but that, In addition, We have the great commitment of achieving a real extent towards the society.

This area of broadcasting, No doubt, It will have important implications in promoting awareness in future generations, in Chile, it is possible to do science excellence and international".
