Hispanics Making a Difference in the World of Spanish and Technology This paper is going to be about a man named Severo Ochao, he was a Hispanic man. He was also a very talented scientist. Severo Ochoa was very important to the Hispanic community, and the whole world. Severo Ochoa studied some really interesting things. Here are some facts about Severo Ochao. To be exact, his full name was Severo Ochoa de Albornoz. He was born on September 4th, 1905 in Lauruca, Spain. Ochoa and his mother moved to a city called Malaga where he attended both elementary and high school. Severo Ochoa’s father died sadly when he was only seven years old. His father was a layer and a businessman. (Severo Ochoa facts) Ochoa had a strong interest in the subject of Biology. This is said to be because Ochoa did a lot of reading about Biology. Santiago Ramone E Cajal who was a famous bilogist (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). Severo Ochoa became an American citizen in 1956. (Severo Ochoa factmonster) In the year 1923, Severo Ochoa was accepted into the University of Madrid’s medical school. Severo Ochoa made many friends at the University. Ochoa worked tirelessly on a project on the lab value named creatinine. Creatinine is a measure of how a person’s kidney’s are working. Creatinine is also found in muscle mass. Ochoa and a friend developed a method to measure small levels of creatinine in muscle mass. During the summer of 1927, Ochoa partnered with a friend named Paten and researched creatinine metablolism at length. Severo Ochoa graduated from the University in 1929 with his undergraduate medical degree. In 1930, Ochoa returned to Madrid and completed his intensive research for his medical doctor license (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). Then in 1931, Severo Ochoa was married to Carmen Garcia Cobran. The couple never had children (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). Following this, Ochoa decided that he wanted to go into research (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). Additionally, after Ochoa’s college graduation, he wanted to learn the English language (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). Severo Ochpa’s research on creatinine allowed him to get accepted at the Meyeroff lab that is part of the Keiser Wilhelin Institute for Biology (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). During this time he worked on the biochemistry of muscles. (Severo Ochoa facts) Ochoa did pursue his doctoral degree at the London National Institute for Medical Research. (Severo Ochoa, Wikipedia). In 1959, Severo Ochoa won the Nobel Peace prize for developing a process that would allow researchers to create RNA in a test tube. RNA is a type of matter that allows human cells to both work and grow. RNA is at the center of the study of genetics. Ocoa also worked intensively on trying to determine why some human cells remain healthy, while other develop tumors (Severo Ochoa, Scholastic). In 1979 Severo also won the National Medal of Science award. He was a very smart and intelligent man, especially for biology. I like how he always worked to get better at his work. He was very committed to his work. Severo was always a very hard working man, even when he was in elementary and high school. Severo Ochoa also studied and examined the DNA and RNA theory very carefully and precisely. ( Severo Ochoa facts) Ochoa was a very amazing person because he always was trying to get better at the things he did in life. Severo and his wife Carmen were a great couple because they both were always were working, and doing productive activities. Severo Ochoa was a very important part in the Hispanic community because he discovered some things that are very important to know in these days, because some of the things Severo did is now life changing in the world today. He always is going be a very important person in the world, because he is truly a person who helps others.
