 History
Sir Salvador Enrique Moncada was born in the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, on
December 3, 1944, who became an important naturalized British scientist. At the
young age of 4, Salvador and his family move from Honduras to San Salvador, El
Salvador. In that country, the Honduran completed his primary and secondary studies,
and between 1962 and 1970, he received his doctorate in medicine and surgery at the
University of El Salvador.
By 1971, Moncada moved to London with the intention of furthering his education and
to study for a PhD in pharmacology at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, after
which he obtained the position of Director of Research at the Welcome Research
Laboratories, in 1986 to be exact. In 1988, Salvador founded the Wolfson Institute for
Biomedical Research, which he directed until 2012.
Married to a royal.
Sir. Salvador Moncada was married for a time to Mrs. Dorys Lemus, who was a
professor of Biochemistry at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of El Salvador. As
a result of this marriage, their first 2 children were born, Claudia Regina born in 1966,
who lives in London, and Salvador Ernesto.
Unfortunately, the marriage did not prosper any longer and ended, leaving Dr.
Moncada free so that after a few years he could meet the woman who would become
his new wife. In 1998, Sir Salvador married Her Royal Highness Princess Maria
Esmeralda of Belgium, the youngest daughter of the former King, Albert II of the
Belgians. From this marriage he had 2 more children, Alejandra Leopoldina and
Leopoldo Daniel. Sir. Moncada is still married to the princess.

Investigations by Sir Salvador Moncada

Dr. Moncada's main research has been focused on the pharmacological effects of
vasoactive substances, but especially on products of the metabolism of various acids,
as well as the synthesis, action and degradation of the biological mediator called Nitric
Oxide. Among many other research works that have earned him various awards and
recognitions for his hard work in the scientific field.

Ezoic In 1990 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific
Research for his discoveries on prostaglandins. In January 2010 she was awarded the
title of Sir. by Queen Isabel II and in 2017 she was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the
Autonomous University of Madrid. He was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in
Medicine, but his findings were attributed to third parties, who won the prize and
caused a stir in the community international.

Scientific contributions

Scientific contributions in England

Most of the scientist's research has been focused on the pharmacological effects of
vaso-active substances.

Like that of Prostaglandin H2 and the function of the vascular wall.

In 1990 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technical
Research.

He won the prize due to his important research on the mechanism of action of aspirin.
He moved to University College London, in 19998, where he founded the Wolfson
Institute for Biomedical Research, in the Cruciform Building, which he directed until
2012.

Salvador Moncada is currently Honduras' ambassador to England. Definitely this

Honduran scientist and doctor has raised the ountry where he was born, he is proud
that his contributions are of great relevance in the world of science.
Honduran scientist Salvador Moncada suggested to the new authorities that they will
assume power in Honduras in 2022, "recover very important fields such as health,
education and the creation of sources of work" to improve the living conditions of the
majority, who are the poor.

It should also be committed to "financing an entire medium- and long-term project for
the recovery of those and other areas of importance," Moncada stressed in an
interview with Efe from London.

RESPOND TO THE PEOPLE QUICKLY

He added that the country "has an external debt of about 60% of the gross territorial
product and poverty is enormous, with 70% of people classified as poor and half of the
population living with less than five dollars as a family budget."

In his opinion, it is urgent to try to solve the immediate health problems, especially
those related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, address the problem of
food need of the country and begin to build an education process from the
reorganization of the return to normal classes of all levels, within the pandemic.

Tse are immediate tasks, I think the Government should quickly dedicate itself to
solving some of the enormous problems of the population and respond to the people
quickly," he stressed.

That is very important because it creates conditions for the execution of a project that
effectively has an impact on society and leads to the path to build a fairer and more
equitable society, he stressed.

The medical professional considers that the Honduran people and the alliance made by
the Free, Salvador of Honduras and Innovation and Social-Democratic Unity parties,
only for the presidential elective level, was "exceptional and demonstrated that the
democratic process can work correctly."

In addition, he believes that if a "b Wide Alliance is achieved, coherent and without
internal antagonistic discussions," you can work on what the Honduran people need at
the moment and comply with the government program presented by Xiomara Castro.

A LOT TO DO IN THE SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM

Moncada indicated that the task to be carried out is "very big and very difficult,"
because the new Government will inherit "a country that has been destroyed
especially during the last two governments, during which not only has poverty and the
dismissal of the people have increased, but conditions have been created that make it
very difficult."

He pointed out that one of the central problems of Honduras has been corruption, and
that is why it is necessary "a very clear approach to how that problem will be treated
with respect to what has happened previously and with respect to what could happen
from now on."

It must be so, because "corruption is one of the absolutely central problems that has
had a direct impact on the creation of the crisis that the country is experiencing at the
moment," he added.

Moncada also indicated that in Honduras all the reforms that have been made of the
Constitution and all the laws that directly affect national sovereignty must be
dismantled, especially that related to the creation of the Employment and Economic
Development Zones (Zedes), which various sectors reject.

“Honduras has many things that need to be done in the short, medium and long term,"
so "it is important to quickly define which are the most urgent to be able to
concentrate on them and be able to respond quickly to the people with respect to the
hopes they have," the scientist emphasized.
He also said that it is important, from very early on, that it be recognized that
educational structures such as the National Autonomous University of Honduras
(Unah) can play an important role of support, since they are those places where
knowledge is concentrated, the talent that could effectively give scientific content to
decision-making.

Current director of the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College
London, he teaches for years in his native country of Honduras, without ever
abandoning medical research.

His main research has been focused on the pharmacological effects of vaso-active
substances, especially products of the metabolism of various acids, as well as on the
synthesis, action and degradation of the biological mediator nitric oxide. He has also
done important work on the issues of inflammation, platelets, interaction between
platelets and the vascular wall, thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. His research on drugs
related to the circulatory system includes the development of the drug
known as Viagra'

AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS

In 1990 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technical
Research, together with Santiago Grisolía, for his discoveries related to prostaglandins
and the function of the vascular wall that have been transcendental in finding
biological mechanisms of great practical importance for the treatment of pathological
processes such as inflammation, arteriosclerosis among others. In January 2010, he
was granted the title of Sir, by Queen Elizabeth II. On March 3, 2017, he was named an
honorary doctorate by the Autonomous University of Madrid..

OUTSTANDING MEDICAL RESEARCHERS AND WRITERS IN HONDURAS: TRIBUTE TO

SIR SALVADOR MONCADA

With this edition, the Honduran Medical Journal (RMH) commemorates its first eighty
years of continuous publication, since its first issue came out in May 1930 under the
direction of Dr. Antonio C. Vidal. As the spokesperson for the doctors' association at
that time and as part of the commemoration of the LXXX anniversary of the RMH, the
Honduran medical union wishes to honor in this issue the illustrious Honduran
scientist, Dr. Salvador Enrique Moncada

Salvador Enrique Moncada was born in Tegucigalpa to a Jewish mother and a

Honduran father, which made him Honduran by ius soli and partly by ius sanguini. The
coincidence occurred because the maternal grandfather arrived in Honduras and
stayed, when Honduras was the only country that did not require a visa to remain as a
resident, thus saving itself from Nazi persecution. On his paternal side, he is the
descendant of a grandfather who graduated as a professional from an American
university and a grandmother who was one of the first businesswomen of her time.

Political vicissitudes led his father and the entire family into exile, so Salvador Moncada
Jr. was educated in El Salvador, until he graduated as a doctor from the Faculty of
Medical Sciences of the Autonomous University of El Salvador. The 1969 war between
his country of birth and the country of his education brought him back to his
homeland, for a brief period, as he went on a scholarship to the United Kingdom to
specialize in pharmacology at the Royal Institute under the direction of Professor Vane.
When he returned from his specialization studies he did several research projects, but
soon the mediocre people on the playground made his life impossible and in 1975 he
had to return with his teacher to London.

He then rejoined Professor Vane's team in the research department at Burroughs &
Wellcome, which was dedicated to the field of prostaglandins, thus discovering the
mechanism of action of aspirin, which earned Professor Vane the Nobel Prize in
Medicine. In that discovery the role of our compatriot was crucial, as was that of
Professor Sergio Ferreira from Brazil. When Professor Vane retired, Moncada
succeeded him as director of the research department of the aforementioned
consortium, until the company was absorbed by another consortium, which, in order
to preserve Moncada's prestigious services, promised that they would continue to
support him in his research. Since it was not like that, then the man of character that is
Salvador Moncada, resigned immediately without caring about the consequence of the
loss of his acquired rights. At some point one of the most prestigious American
consortiums in the field of the pharmaceutical industry proposed him an advantageous
contract, through which it offered to integrate a research team with the ten best
assistants that he chose and the respective laboratories, but he opted to stay in the
UK.
