Inmunologist, BMRC Consortium researcher and Director for Coronovac Study for Chile, said that the collaboration that has happened within Chilean scientist sector "has been very positive and this is a unprecedented event in the science history".
Dr. Hernán González, BMRC Consortium researcher, indetified a frequent issue among its patients and start to investigate until he created a diagnosis technique with a huge potential in his area. Tha was the easy part. Building a medical technology company, valued at US$35 millions (and growing), it could be a little bit harder.
