A biotechnologist selected as a future astronaut

Today we echo the great news for the scientific world, especially in the field of biotechnology, as it is the selection of Sara García Alonso as a future astronaut. She studied the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Biotechnology at the University of León, where she received two awards for her academic excellence.

From the Spanish Society of Biotechnology (SEBiot) we cannot feel more proud to see selected for such an important challenge a scientist in our field, trained in a university closely linked to the origins of SEBiot.

SEBiot was created in the 80’s, in the framework of BIOTECNOLOGÍA 86m the first nacional biotech congress, organized by Juan Francisco Martín, born in León, president of SEBiot from 1989 to 1994, and now honorary member of our organisation.
