The research of a team formed by anthropologists, biologists, biochemists and archeologists proves that the autochthonous contribution in Argentina’s population might be of a 30%. The results of the work, emerged from an analysis of blood donors in diverse regions of our country, indicate that there is a 65% of European component, a 30% Amerindian and a 5% African. Amerindian lineage is mainly maternal, decreases as we come close to the city of Buenos Aires and increases towards the north and the south.

It is proved that by the use of microorganisms it can be boosted the performance of cultivations, such as soy. Besides, this practice contributes to the development of an environment friendlier agriculture. Another task of microbiology is to investigate the use of microorganisms to control plagues, diseases and weeds. This was explained by the Agricultural Engineer Gustavo González Anta during the Microbiology workshop developed at the University.
A Patagonic bacterium of the genre Rhodococcus accumulates oils departing from organic waste and it is capable of degrading hydrocarbons. This was determined by a team of researchers, after that in INDEAR, the first genomic platform of the country, its genetic material was decoded. The information obtained will permit to develop bioremediation methods of contaminated soils, apart from the production of biodiesel at great scale and other products of biotechnological use.
Some oleaginous bacteria autochthonous of the Patagonia have the capacity of transforming urban waste into oils to produce biodiesel. The biochemical phenomenon of this transformation is analyzed by a team of researchers from the School of Natural Sciences, which looks for new sources for generating biocombustibles and, particularly, the widening of the oil production scale through these bacteria.
The advent of reality shows produced a cult of the trivial. The genesis of this phenomenon can be traced in the burst of every day life in Art during the twentieth century and in the blurred limits between the media and Art. In a conference offered in the IUNA, the well-known researcher of the media François Jost, analyzed the possible links between TV-reality and artists such as Warhol and Duchamp, the redefinition of “the real” on TV and the role of politicians as “heroes of the reality show”.
Investigadores de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud analizaron la problemática de la gastritis en la población salteña. La inflamación del estómago, llamada gastritis, es una patología que afecta a la población mundial y puede ser producida por varias causas, entre ellas el alcoholismo, el tabaquismo o el consumo de analgésicos. En los casos en los que se convierte en crónica puede llegar a convertirse en un cáncer gástrico. En la población salteña se suma otra causa que provoca la enfermedad que es el hábito del coqueo. La investigación, en su primera etapa, confirmó una alta presencia de la patología.
La UNLP inauguró recientemente en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas el Hospital Universitario Integrado. El moderno edificio está provisto de un "cerebro" compuesto de seis discos rígidos. Se podrán realizar simulaciones, conectarse con las subsedes de la facultad, presenciar una intervención a distancia o dictar clases magistrales por teleconferencia en un auditorio con capacidad para 220 personas.
