Nobel Prize-winning chemist Luis Federico Leloir is credited with creating salsa golf — partly as a joke among friends, named because his recipe was created at a golf club — in 1925.

“We are in October, and we have been transferred less than 40% of our annual budget”, says Andrea Gamarnik, a virologist at the Leloir Institute, a life-sciences research centre in Buenos Aires.

As a result, “young scientists will go abroad, and the setback will be very difficult to revert”, says Andrea Gamarnik, a virologist at the Leloir Institute Foundation in Buenos Aires.

Dr. Osvaldo Podhjacer, Chief of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Therapy at the Fundacion Instituto Leloir in Buenos Aires, and his team developed an 'oncolytic' virus designed to target both malignant cells and tumor-associated stromal cells.

In February, Unleash Immuno Oncolytics announced it had entered a license agreement with Leloir Institute to develop immuno-oncology products for cancer treatment in Saint Louis.
