	Manuel Patarroyo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Manuel Patarroyo, a Colombian research scientist, has developed the world's first safe and effective malaria vaccine.
		Patarroyo claims that his work and the efforts of his Third World colleagues are often treated with a condescension bordering on racism by northern scientists.
		Patarroyo insisted that the vaccine be produced in Columbia, in order to keep the price low.

		Patarroyo refuse to estimate the efficacy of the new vaccine, which will be called the Colombian Malaria Vaccine (Col-Ma-VAC), although there is information that by 1999 it was already 50 percent effective, compared to the SPF66's 23-24 percent.
		Patarroyo began his work on a malaria vaccine in the 1980s on the suggestion of Swedish colleagues.
		Experts say Patarroyo's success lies in the fact that while traditional vaccines have been effective in combating several viruses that attack human beings, they have not been very successful in the fight against bacteria or parasites like the malaria-causing Plasmodium genus.

	Biografías - WWW.COLOMBIA.COM
		Manuel Elkin Patarroyo ha sido incansable en la búsqueda de soluciones definitivas para las enfermedades que afectan especialmente a los países del tercer mundo.
		Patarroyo proviene de una familia de 11 hermanos, de los que 5 son médicos, una enfermera y otra psicóloga.
		Elkin Patarroyo es amante del arte, especialmente de pintura al óleo y se precia de poseer una de las mejores colecciones de arte colombiano, no por el dinero que gana, sino porque a sus amigos pintores les puede decir "me gusta ése", y ellos no se atreven a decirle que no.

		Manuel Patarroyo, one of the world's most flamboyant medical researchers, a biochemist from Colombia, developed the world's first safe and effective malaria vaccine.
		Manuel Elkin Patarroyo is a genius, not only for his excellent scientist work, but especially for his really love for humanity.
		I hope Elkin Patarroyo's research can be a building block to a truly effective Malaria vaccine because that would be among the most life-saving of drugs.

	Manuel Patarroyo - The Prince of Asturias Foundation
		Manuel Elkin Patarroyo Murillo was born in Ataco (Tolima, Colombia) in 1946.
		The vaccine created by Patarroyo combats one of the most virulent forms of the disease (scientifically named SPf66), and has proved to be efficient for between 40% and 50% of adults and 77% of children under five.
		Patarroyo was awarded the Colombian National Science Prize on various occasions, as well as the State of SÆo Paulo Prize (1988) and the award of the Third World Academy of Science (1990), among others.

	Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango
		Patarroyo se graduó de bachiller en 1964, del Colegio José Max León de Bogotá;.
		Desde allí, Patarroyo ha llevado a cabo sus investigaciones, acompañado de un grupo interdisciplinario de científicos colombianos, en su mayoría muy jóvenes, entre los que se encuentran médicos, bacteriólogos y microbiólogos, a los cuales Patarroyo ha formado en la investigación científica y que, a su vez, se han convertido en multiplicadores de ésta.
		Sin embargo, en un acto de generosidad, Patarroyo donó la vacuna, en mayo de 1993, a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), con la condición de que su producción y comercialización fueran hechas en Colombia, lo que implica el montaje de una moderna planta destinada a producir la vacuna industrialmente.

	Out of Colombia: The passion of Patarroyo
		The life and times of Manuel Elkin Patarroyo underline the age-old adage that true life is often stranger than fiction.
		Betrayed by all sides, with setbacks that would break the spirits of even the strongest, Patarroyo continues, against all odds to be precisely where he wants to be: Hard at work in his own lab.
		The first version of the Patarroyo vaccine developed in the late 1980s resulted in 30 percent to 50 percent of those injected producing sufficient anti-bodies to protect themselves against malaria.

	Malaria researcher comes in from the cold - SciDev.Net
		After a year of difficulties, Manuel Elkin Patarroyo, the controversial Colombian immunologist and malaria researcher, has at last found a new home with the opening last week (7 May) of a brand new research institute, the Institute of Immunology of Colombia.
		Patarroyo and his researchers, 165 at that time, had to leave the buildings, taking with them their 48,000 serum samples.
		But some claim that one was her reluctance to grant funds to Patarroyo without going through the standard peer review channels, and her insistence that his research project was not a priority of the type identified by the constitutional court.

	Artículos sobre Patarroyo
		La segunda gran aportación de Patarroyo al mundo fue la entrega de la patente de su vacuna sintética a la Organización Mundial de la Salud, para que su producción masiva no estuviese penalizada por la existencia de patentes que encariciesen el medicamento.
		Patarroyo rechazó ofertas multimillonarias de los mayores laboratorios farmacéuticos del mundo.
		Una noche, Manuel cogió su camino habitual, y cuando le faltaban unos cien metros para llegar, vio con horror que era perseguido por una pareja de feroces perros, que alcanzaron a morderlo en ese lugar donde la espalda pierde su honroso nombre.

		The leader of the Colombian group is Manuel Elkin Patarroyo, a doctor at the Immunology Institute of the Hospital San Juan de Dios in Bogotá.
		But, says Patarroyo, there are genetically determined differences in people’s immune responses: some people are best able to attack the parasite in its first stage, while others attack the second.
		When all the data were in, Patarroyo found there were nearly 39 percent fewer cases of falciparum malaria among the vaccine recipients than among a control group.

		Patarroyo, consulted on the student action, said he would oppose any violent action on his behalf, but said it was “fantastic” that young people were conscious of the importance that should be given to knowledge.
		Patarroyo and his staff of over 160 researchers are working to improve the malaria vaccine and develop two more synthetic vaccines, against tuberculosis and hepatitis B. The Institute is also cooperating with researchers in Brazil to develop antigens against AIDS.
		Patarroyo warned that the embargo could cause the Institute to shut down, and that relocating his research to another country could take 2–5 years.

		The success of Patarroyo and his team lies in the fact that, while traditional vaccines are effective for fighting various viruses that attack humans, they have not been very effective at fighting bacteria or parasites - like the Plasmodium, which causes malaria - something the Spf 66 achieves, commented immunologist Sócrates Herrera.
		The synthetic vaccine against malaria, which Patarroyo patented and which will be manufactured in Colombia by a company created with support from the Spanish government, will be handed over to the World Health Organization (WHO) for distribution to all countries.
		WHO control over Spf 66 will allow access to the vaccine for people or countries with limited resources, and the Colombian Immunology Institute is studying the possibility that, by producing the vaccine at low costs, it could be given away.

		Manuel Elkin Patarroyo (born November 3, 1947) is a Colombian pathologist who developed the world's first safe and effective synthetic vaccine for malaria, a disease transmitted by mosquitos that affects millions of people in the Third World every year.
		The vaccine was evaluated in clinical trials carried out by the WHO in Gambia, Tanzania and Thailand, and had mixed results.
		Unfortunately, lack of government funding and mismanagement led to the bankruptcy of the Hospital San Juan de Dios and therefore to the relocation of his lab.
