SCIENTIFIC AND SPANISH WOMAN: MARGARITA SALAS.

Today we have lost a magnificent woman pioneer of scientific research in Spain: Margarita Salas.

Margarita Salas worked with Severo Ocho and, along with her husband Eladio Viñuela, began the development of molecular biology in Spain. His study of the bacterial virus Phi29 has allowed us to know how DNA works, how its instructions are transformed into proteins and how these proteins relate to each other (article traslation "Margarita Salas, pasión por la biología molecular").
