The Council of Young Associates of the Cuban Academy of Sciences (ACC), in the Biomedical Sciences Section. Recently welcomed two Holguin residents as new members. Verónica Aleyda Velázquez González, Ph.D., and José Leandro Pérez Guerrero, Ph.D.
According to Elianis Ocaña Samada, Ph.D., president of the Provincial Council of Scientific Health Societies in Holguin. “These results were announced after a rigorous process of selection, evaluation, and analysis of the academic background of the candidates. To join the council, established by Resolution Three of 2025.”
As part of the academic year for the 2024-2029 period and in accordance with the statutes governing the operation of the Cuban Academy of Sciences (ACC). 100 young scientists were selected nationwide on this occasion. They possess a significant track record in the field of research at both the regional and national levels.
The selection of the young full professor at the University of Medical Sciences of Holguin. Also president of the Academic Committee of the Biostatistics Specialty. And a second-level specialist in that discipline, represented “an honor and a great responsibility.
A great explicit recognition of my scientific and academic career. As a platform to continue my development as a professional and work toward the application of science to solve problems in the biomedical sciences.”
This recognition translates into a social responsibility. Which according to the research associate, is a commitment to the scientific and social development of the province and the country in general. “It is a great joy and satisfaction to be able to live as a young person and participate in scientific development in the medical sciences,” she concluded.
For these professionals, being part of the prestigious academy is a significant challenge. Because it entails professional development, remaining active, and contributing knowledge to science in every aspect, both in teaching and research.
This selection by the ACC was preceded by the launch of a call, months earlier, for all scientific institutions in the country. To conduct their internal selection process and nominate researchers and personalities with relevant careers.
Young people associated with the ACC, as a general rule, must be under 40 years of age, have defended doctorates or are in the process of completing them, and have a fruitful scientific and research career.
