Carlos E. Lanusse is an Argentine scientist and a professor of Pharmacology.[1] He is the Director of the Veterinary Research Center and the Science and Technology Center of the Argentina National Council of Research in Tandil.[2][3]
Lanusse was born on 20 May, 1959. He obtained his first degree in veterinary from the National University of the Center of the Province of Buenos Aires in 1982.[2][1] In 1986, he received Doctor of Veterinary Sciences from the University of La Plata and in 1991 he received Doctor of Philosophy from McGill University, Canada.[3]
Lanusse led a team that made a fundamental contribution to the field of veterinary pharmaco-parasitology. The discovery that has to do with the optimization of the control of helminth parasites that affect animals in production did not only reveals the molecular pharmacological mechanisms but also support the host-drug-parasite relationship. This contribution has been considered an essential contribution to understand the antiparasitic action and the phenomena of resistance of parasites to the effect of drugs and it made the American Association of Veterinary Parasitology to confer on him the highest scientific award of the organisation which is called the Distinguished Research Award.[4]
Lanusse won a Graduate Research Award from the American Association for Veterinary Parasitology in 1991, a Bernardo Houssay Award from the National Secretariat of Science and Technology in 2003, Bayer Award from the Academy of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine in 2006, Veterinary Medicine Society Award, Research Award of the American Academy of Veterinary Pharmacology and Bunge & Born Award in 2011, Center for the Study of the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Industry Award in 2013 and Konex Award in 2013[4][2][5][6][7]
