The National Academy of Medicine of Buenos Aires (Argentina), the oldest in America, has named the emeritus professor of Histology and professor at the University of Granada Antonio Campos as an honorary member for his contributions to creating artificial tissues.
This institution, founded in 1822, has elected Campos as an Honorary Foreign Member, a recognition of an “exceptional” nature that the Academy considers for people of “outstanding and extraordinary aptitudes.”
Among the foreign honorary academics are several Nobel Prize winners, including Santiago Ramón y Cajal, and Spanish figures such as Gregorio Marañón, Pío del Río Hortega, Pedro Laín Entralgo and Carlos Jiménez Díaz.
Professor Antonio Campos, a pioneer in research and teaching in tissue engineering in Granada, has contributed with his research group to the generation of new artificial tissues such as the cornea and artificial skin that have already been transferred to the clinic.
The work directed by Campos has earned his team numerous recognitions such as the Medal of Andalusia and three honorary doctorates awarded by foreign universities.
Campos has been an academic at the Royal National Academy of Medicine of Spain since 2004, where he occupies the Histology chair that Ramón y Cajal once held.
The emeritus professor at the UGR is also currently the vice president and co-director of the Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Medical Terms
