Florencia Cairol, a cone researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Research (Biomed, Conicet-UCA) that is part of the Laboratory for Neuroimmunoassay and Molecular Oncology under the direction of Graciella Kremache, a researcher at the Council, was recognized as “Scientist of the Year” at the Women’s Economic Forum 2022 (WEF) held in Argentina.

This distinction honors “a scientist in any scientific discipline, who during this year has been innovative, inspiring and superior, always with respect for equality and diversity.”

Florencia Caerol, recognized for her studies on how to improve oncology therapies with low side effects for different types of malignancies, said: “Finding out that I would be distinguished by the World Economic Forum was a great surprise and a great pleasure, especially because it is the award where anyone can participate, apply and vote for you. It is very nice to have the support of a group of women who play very important roles in different areas of our society.”

Thanks and appreciation

He added, “It was also great to be at the party because Estella di Carlotto was distinguished as the ‘Woman of the Decade’ and had the opportunity to salute her, it was very exciting and motivating to listen to her.”

Biotechnologist Conicet also won the Rising Talent Award at L’Oréal-UNESCO’s International Prize for Women in Science.

“I feel this discrimination is not a personal matter, but ultimately on behalf of all women scientists in our country and especially my co-workers,” she concluded.
