摘要

In 1935, Severo Ochoa and Carlos Jiménez Díaz began a close collaboration when Ochoa joined the Institute of Medical Research founded by Jiménez Díaz in Madrid. Despite different paths—Ochoa pursuing pure research and Jiménez Díaz focusing on clinical medicine—their partnership flourished. Both couples, Ochoa with Carmen García Cobián and Jiménez Díaz with Conchita Rábago, shared experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The subsequent separation, keeping always friendship and admiration, Severo in New York, recognized internationally with the Nobel Prize in 1959, while Jiménez Díaz in Madrid with his Fundación Jimenez Díaz, is admirable. Each mutual visit was a display of pride and admiration. Their enduring friendship has influenced Spanish biomedical science, culminating in a great deal of cooperation between basic sciences ad clinical practice, as in the Fundación Jiménez Díaz.
