Research and publication: Safety of intravenous Inmunoglobulins
 |
| This book is about the safety mesures against viral contamination in intravenous inmunoglobulins. |
This is another example of my research work. It was very interesting to review the important subject of viral contamination in intravenous Inmunoglobulines. This paper, sponsored by Bayer, was directed to medicine students, and mainly to the primary attention medical professionals: doctors and nurses. I recomend this book for its direct approach, reviewing must recent pharmaceutical techniques to avoid viral contamination in their products.
Approach to teaching my subject areas. A very short essay on methodology.
I would try to keep up to date in the subject areas, new technologies, and pedagogic methods. A Science professor must be able to consult Science or Nature. Based on the academic program I define theoretical and practical work. Groups of 30 students are organized in "research teams".
In a conference or lesson (60 minutes) explaining only one or two issues. A tipical lesson consist of a general introduction (5 minuts), to relate new information with previous lessons. The new content or main part takes 40 minutes. It is important to introduce practical examples, exercises, and show illustrations (for example, using a computer). During recapitulation one can stimulate students with questions.
In a Medicine School it is mandatory to correlate basic science with medical or clinical practice. Also make references to the importance of basic science in pathology.
Finally it is good to repeat the main concepts and to orientate the best way to study the main subject. I use to give details of bibliografic research.
I find very important to create a positive learning enviroment. A professor must earn the students respect. It is his/her duty to capture the students attention with a high quality "product": an interesting lesson
The process I use for planning a unit consist in 4 basic steps:
1) Define and clarify what section the unit is about: name, part of the academic program, theoretical contents, practical contents, chapter or section of the main reference book, time schedule and relation with other units.
2) I focus on what are the students supposed to learn in this unit. What are they going to be able to achive.
3) Which are the best materials and methods.
5) The teacher must ask his/her self about the best teaching conditions, resources and students needs.
It could be helpfull to prepare "emergency" materials. Also oral questions, multiple choice tests, reading guide and a practical proyect, if it is the case.
If your are teaching Medicine students it is very important to foment ethical values, discipline and hard work. In the case a student is not being succesful in my classroom firstly I would identify the specific problem. I would express my interest in the students difficulty. And I would offer extra help.
From 1972 to 1985 I was full time Professor. That was a significant experience. I worked with Biology studentes as well as with second year students at the main Medicine School in Havana,Cuba. We used to have very high standars. And I can said I contribute a lot to medicine student basic instruction or preclinical instruction.

Research interests
I have worked mainly in Neurohistology : Hipotalamic functions. This line was developed at the Histology Dep. of the Medicine School in Havana, Cuba. It was a very interesting field. We search correlations of hipotalamic nucleous and drugs used in different mental disfunctions.
I developed a technique to explore neurosecretion in rodents in relation to drugs like alprazolan or clorpromacine.
In the Morphology Dep. School of Medicine, Autonomous University, Madrid, Spain I worked in Inmunocompetent cells in Chronic Orchitis. Inflammatory infiltrates in specific chronic orchitis, tuberculous orchitis, idiopathic granulomatous orchitis and chronic lymphocytic orchitis in AIDS patients were evaluated using monoclonal antibodies.

Teaching philosophy: a short essay.
An effective teacher must have or cultivate good communication and interpersonal skills: should to be able to explain what experts do at Ginebra CERN to 12 year old students. It´s necessary to have a lot of patience and common sense. A balanced, non compulsive sense of organization, excelent manners and high ethical standars are mandatory.
Creativity and a fine sense of performance would be helpful. Effective professors are generally friendly. In addition being an effective proffesor, one needs to be open minded, flexible, and respectful of foreign cultures. Good humor could be a plus.
During my professional development the following topics have been studied:
Teaching with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen.
Homework in High School: Influence on Learning.
How it all Starts Inside your Brain.
The Socratic Approch to Character Education.
English II Writing promts.
I draw upon relevant theory and research to develop my personal theories of practice. I understand that professional development is not an end-in-itself, leads to a new learning being appropriately pratice in the learning enviroment.
I use the information from professional development opportunities as a basis for experimenting with, reflecting on and revising my practices.
Currently I´m very interested in the following issues:
1) Science teaching: Biology, Histology, Earth Sciences.
2) Teachers Training: I have a wide experience in professional development. In Cuba and in United States I have test this experience at universitary level and with high school students.
Writing a Molecular Science book gave my the opportunity to develop communication skills. I think I am an excellent teacher, who uses many creative ideas and approches. I can quickly adapt to any situation, no matter how challenging.

Genes en tela de Juicio: a book about molecular biology in criminology.
The progress of the application of biological methods in forensic science is a currente fact.
A skin flake, a hair, almost every biological sample (blood, urine, heces) are useful to identify a person or any other living things.
My book "Genes en tela de Juicio" introduces you into the fascinating terrain of using ADN as a valid test to discriminate and identify criminals. Also to demostrate innocence.
Genes en tela de juicio narrates the development of an application of molecular biology in criminology.It is recomended in many universitary schools.
