Professor Antonio Lazcano will explain updates on cellular evolution on Monday at the Burjassot Campus
Antonio Lazcano, professor and researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), will talk about nuclear evolution next Monday, October 24, in the Charles Darwin room of the Burjassot Campus of the Universitat de València (UV), at 12 noon. The conference is organized by the Faculty of Biological Sciences, the Institute of Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio) and the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit of the UV and is open to the public.
Lazcano will give the conference “Endosymbiosis and cellular evolution: the origin of the nucleus” to comment on updates on the research he is carrying out on the origin of the cell nucleus in collaboration with Juli Peretó, professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the UV and researcher at I2SysBio, a joint center of the UV and the CSIC. This research is based on the theory of the scientist Lynn Margulis who gave evolutionary prominence to cooperation between species.
The scientist, who is a member of the National College of Mexico, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as well as an honorary doctorate from the University of Valencia, has managed to be the only Latin American who has presided over the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life (ISSOL) twice. consecutive. In addition, he has published 200 articles and chapters in science magazines for the general public and has written some books such as The Origin of Life (which became a bestseller with the marketing of more than 800,000 copies) or The Spark of Life.
He has also been part of different advisory boards, including those of NASA and other international organizations. Likewise, he has received the Founders' Medal from the University of San Francisco de Quito (2005), the National University Award for Research in Natural Sciences from UNAM (2007) and the Guillaume Medal from the College de France (2018), among others.
The activity is supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECyT).
