A breast cancer suffered by his mother motivated the math and physics teacher Eder Antonio Linares Vargas to initiate studies that contribute to the understanding of this pathology that comes to life for many women in the world every day.

“My mother has ductal breast cancer and they had to remove her left breast plus some lymph nodes in her left arm. she was in chemotherapy”, says the teacher from Barranquilla.
It is in this moment of adversity where he confesses that his desire to understand how a normal cell it becomes cancerous.
“That is my greatest motivation to start this research,” explains this professor who has spent months fighting and knocking on doors for help to start his project.
Linares has a degree in mathematics and physics from the Atlantic University. Master in Applied Physics from the University of Zulia (Venezuela).
“I was in Mexico at the University of Sonora working on the Physicochemistry of triple negative breast cancer,” he says that he has also been a professor at the Uniatlantico, the CUC, ITSA and the uninorte from Barranquilla.

My mother has breast cancer. She was in chemotherapy. That is when my desire to understand how a normal cell becomes cancerous is born.
For his study of cancer cells has consulted scientific articles and assures that he found that “as based on the partial failure of medical oncologists, biologists, biochemists, etc., in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in early stages, physicists and mathematicians begin to contribute to the understanding of this pathology,” he says.
“Undoubtedly, in order to improve the diagnosis of cancer in its early stages, monitor the disease and carry out adequate treatment, it is necessary to resort to new technologies such as nanomedicine. A very new and cutting-edge technological trend is based on the use of nanomaterials for theranostic purposes”, he indicates.
He won a scholarship to study in Argentina
Linares applied for a scholarship for a doctorate in Argentina with the Conicet, the counterpart of Colciencias in Colombia. It is an international scholarship, where the academic averages of the courses studied are evaluated, especially in the master’s degree. The resume of each student and the possible lines of research to be followed are also evaluated. “Thank God I managed to get the scholarship.”

But its economy is not the best. “I have a contract with the Secretary of Education of Barranquilla, I asked them for financial support for paperwork and air tickets and the response was not favorable.
Professor Linares is married and has a four-month-old baby, whom he cannot leave alone to study in Argentina.
“The Institute of Atomic and Nuclear Physics of Bariloche where I would carry out my initial study, has a kind of nursery for the care of the young children of researchers and doctoral students with families and there is the possibility that she will also start a professional career in that country” explains the professor who is applying help for document procedures: The Mercosur visa as a family nucleus and the one-way air tickets to Bariloche Argentina.

“I hope and seek the help of some entity or person who understands the importance of a Colombian being linked to this type of investigation,” says a resident of Vivo en el Barrio New Colombia in Barranquilla. People interested in helping him can contact him at 3052814445.
