Baldomero Olivera was born on 29th of July, 1941. His accomplishments in the field of biochemistry and
molecular biology, specifically the discoveries of numerous Conus peptides which are now in various
phases of clinical trials as highly specific drugs of pain, epilepsy, and other disorders of the nervous
system made it construe in classification of the neuroactive Conus peptides.
