and coin) and now they are in a very hard economical position.

inside - In the last two years, I have found a lot of new experiences
in my life. First the research project that is going on in my lab related
to the radiolabeling of monoclonal antibodies with radioisotopes for
diagnostic purposes and most recently the idea of radiolabel
monoclonal antibodies with beta radioisotopes for the treatment of
some malignancies like neuroblastomas, gliomas and breast tumors and
also colorectal tumors.
This is a very good thing for me because the science is going to the
right place in the treatment of some malignancises which until now do
not have cure at all.
I think that this is a very good, encorage and promising project for
the future.
outside - Two months ago passed over our Island the hurricaine Lyly.
This was a very strong hurricaine. We had a lot of plantations, more than 20 000
of houses totally destroyed and more than 1000 million of US dollars
in economical lost. This affected me very much, because this year for
the first time in more than 5 years the economical balance of the
country was positive, and the growth of the national production was
about 7.2 %.
future - Next century will be the century of telematica, bioinformatica
and biorobotica.
This mean the development of information means, INTERNET,
communication online through the computers with video
included, biosensors, ships which can simulate the structure of
the human brain, more power virtual reality and so on.
