IN MEMORIAM

Prof. Dr. Carlos Eduardo José Bozzini (1932 -2017)

 

We deeply regret to announce the passing of Dr. Eduardo Carlos Bozzini, Associate Editor or our journal, on March 24.

For over thirty years, Dr. Bozzini, in collaboration with Dr. Cabrini, drove the idea of creating Acta Odontológica Latinoamericana with the aim of promoting publication of research in Latin America. Since then, he continuously cooperated with editing and publishing papers.

Dr. Bozzini was a Doctor in Dentistry, Buenos Aires University (UBA, 1957) and Doctor in Biological Science (UBA, 1991). After graduating he did full-time teaching and research. He was Full Professor of Physiology at the UBA School of Dentistry from 1971 to 1998, after which he continued as Professor Emeritus. He had a permanent researcher position (Carrera del Investigador) with the Argentine National Research Council (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones, CONICET), attaining the position of Senior Researcher.

He was distinguished among the Great Masters at UBA and Master of Dentistry by the Argentine Dental Association (Asociación Odontológica Argentina).

His numerous scientific activities, including approximately 200 published papers, direction of over twenty PhD theses and participation in conferences, symposiums and round tables in Argentina, USA, Peru, Bolivia, Austria, Germany, France and England, brought major international prestige to the Department of Physiology and the School of Dentistry in the context of his main line of work: regulation of erythropoiesis and high altitude physiology.

We will always remember him as a great scientist, collaborator and friend.
