Malbrán Institute, Vélez Sársfield 563, wall and beyond.

Almada Roche, a journalist and writer with extensive experience, spent nearly thirty-five years working at the Carlos G. Malbrán National Institute of Microbiology. In this book, he reviews part of the history of this emblematic national institution, using a colloquial language to recount episodes in which he was either a protagonist or a witness. The book includes interviews with some of the former directors of the Institute, shedding light on instances of corruption, sexual harassment, and abuse of power that occurred in a place once compared to the Pasteur Institute in France for its scientific excellence. Renowned scientists such as Bernardo Houssay and César Milstein once passed through its doors.

Almada Roche is the author of various titles including "Conversations with Juan Filloy," "Augusto Roa Bastos: The Style of the Land," and "José Asunción Flores: Soulmate, Companion." He has also been a regular contributor to major newspapers in Buenos Aires and Asunción, Paraguay.
