El Dr. Fernando Mönckeberg y la creación del laboratorio de investigación pediátrica / The Dr. Fernando Mönckeberg and the creation of the laboratory of pediatric investigation

El crecimiento y la evolución del Laboratorio de Investigación Pediátrica representan un tema de considerable interés, ya que no sólo permite hacer consideraciones acerca del papel que juega el liderazgo científico en la solución de los problemas del desarrollo, sino también discutir acerca de la maduración de las instituciones universitarias y de los frutos que pueden resultar de su accionar. En este sentido, el Laboratorio de Investigación Pediátrica constituye un ejemplo casi único en nuestro continente, que vale la pena tener en cuenta al crear otras instituciones
