Viewing cable 06BUENOSAIRES2697, HARVARD INITIATES STEM CELL RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06BUENOSAIRES2697.

Summary 
------- 
 
2. (U) Harvard University and the GoA have begun an education 
and research and development initiative in Argentina that 
will initially focus on stem cell research.  The program, 
called PABSELA, has won the vocal and financial support of 
the Minister of Education.  The endeavor highlights the 
continuing opportunities for U.S. science and technology 
institutions to enhance the U.S.'s long-term intellectual 
security through collaborative efforts with Argentine 
partners.  End Summary. 
 
PABSELA Founded by Argentine Harvard Professors 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
 
3. (U) The Program for the Advancement of Biomedical Science 
Education in Latin American (PABSELA) is a creation of the 
Harvard University Medical School's nonprofit international 
assistance organization Harvard Medical International (HMI). 
PABSELA was founded by two Harvard Medical School professors 
from Argentina, and its primary mission is to provide short 
(2-4 week) courses in biomedical topics that will be taught 
by Harvard Medical School professors to graduate students and 
researchers in Argentina.  Harvard's vision is to formulate 
lasting bonds between Harvard and Latin American scientists, 
schools and research facilities, assuring Harvard's continued 
competitiveness in talent and research, while promoting 
advanced medical science in the developing world. 
 
GoA and the Private Sector Footing the Bill 
------------------------------------------- 
 
4. (U) PABSELA is funded by a nonprofit called the "Crimson 
Foundation," created in Argentina specifically to assist 
PABSELA.  The foundation's mission is to raise funds to pay 
for the travel of visiting professors, related administrative 
costs, and the purchase and donation of high-tech research 
equipment to participants.  Harvard will continue to pay the 
salary and benefits of its professors who travel to Argentina 
to participate in the program.  The foundation's local donors 
include Banco Rio, small and medium sized local 
pharmaceutical producers, Continental Airlines, and United 
Airlines.  It has also received significant funding from the 
Ministry of Education. The Crimson Foundation's first year 
operating budget is in excess of USD 500,000. 
 
The Minister's Blessing 
----------------------- 
 
5. (U) Argentine Minister of Education Filmus has strongly 
embraced the idea, granting the Crimson Foundation USD 
300,000 over the first three years of the program.  The 
Ministry of Education indirectly funds and manages the 
majority of graduate and post-graduate education and 
research, making it one of the most important R&D policy 
players in the country. 
 
 
An Early Focus on Stem Cells 
---------------------------- 
 
6. (U) Courses on a broad range of stem cell research topics 
are scheduled to begin in April 2007.  Harvard has selected 
30 stem cell researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and 
Venezuela to attend hands-on training courses taught by 
Harvard at the quasi-governmental facility (similar to the 
NIH) Fundacion Instituto Leloir.  The courses are free and 
the specific course matter is to be selected by the 
participants (not Harvard), based on their research 
interests.  In some cases, PABSELA will also provide 
equipment to the participant's lab or facility.  Harvard 
intends to select as students researchers willing to remain 
connected to Harvard in some capacity. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
7. (SBU) PABSELA Co-Director and former Harvard biologist 
Estanislao Bachrach told EmbOff that Minister of Education 
Filmus had expressed his frustration with the 
inefficiency of the Argentine education system and welcomed 
PABSELA as a way to keep Argentine researchers in Argentina 
 
by working outside the existing bureaucracy.  Bachrach also 
said he had received promises of significant future funding 
from major international pharmaceutical companies in 
Argentina, if Harvard is able to engender a local stem cell 
research community of "critical mass." 
 
8. (SBU) Filmus's statements suggest a continued enthusiasm 
on the part of major Argentine S&T players to support 
innovative ways of developing and maintaining collaborative 
R&D environments.  Filmus displayed a great deal of interest 
in Science and Technology Adviser to the Secretary of State 
Dr. George Atkinson's proposed Global Science Partnerships 
program (reftel).  Filmus's support for PABSELA indicates 
that similar collaborative initiatives (public or private) 
that could serve to enhance long-term U.S. intellectual 
security will likely find fertile ground in Argentina.
