collaboration only focused on the search for bioactive compounds from tropical plants. From this, many joint
publication resulted, even a first German-Congolese patent.
Today, these joint investigations are imbedded in the research network SFB 630 („Agents against Infectious
Diseases“), of which Bringmann is the coordinator. Bringmann and me initiated in 2008 a privately financed
excellence scholarship program, BEBUC. It shall give outstanding young people in the Congo the chance to
study rapidly and in depth and to pursue an academic career.
My most memorable experience during my stay .. it enabled me to learn German, to gain an in-depth
understanding of the values of German culture, and to intensify my relations with German colleagues and
friends. I continue to maintain and to nurture these friendships both privately and professionally.

Mein unvergessliches Erlebnis während meines Aufenthaltes .. als ich nach Würzburg gekommen bin, hat
mich auf dem Weg hierher als erstes einmal die Grenzmauer zum Lachen gebracht. Alle Schrauben, die die
Betonplatten hielten, hatten die Mutter von der westlichen Seite zugänglich. Dies widersprach der DDRPropaganda, dass die Mauer zum Schutz gegen westliche Spione errichtet worden war.

Zweitens; hatte ich ein Zimmer bei einem Bauern in der Umgebung von Würzburg gemietet. Sein Haus war in
Bezug auf Qualität und Komfort vergleichbar mit dem Haus meines Betreuers in Vilnius, damals in der
Sowjetunion. Dieser Betreuer war Professor, Rektor der Uni und Mitglied des Zentralen Komitees der
Kommunistischen Partei.
Nach der Rückkehr sagte ich ihm, dass die Thesen über die Unterdrückung der Bauern und Arbeiter im
Westen nicht ganz zuzutreffen scheinen. Ich konnte mir eine solche Frechheit leisten, weil ich kurz vor dem
Aufenthalt in Deutschland meinen Wohnsitz von Vilnius nach Warschau gewechselt hatte. Wie bekannt ist,
war Polen die lustigste Baracke des Ostlagers.

accessible from many parts of Germany and enabled us to travel far and wide, with a good connection from

Ich war im Rahmen eines Forschungsaufenthaltes 1969-1970 mit einem Alexander von Humboldt
Stipendium an der Universität Würzburg. Mein Betreuer war Prof. Dr. med. Horst Wullstein, Direktor des
Kopfklinikums Würzburg.

Mein unvergessliches Erlebnis während meines Aufenthaltes .. von vielen ist es schwer, eines zu wählen.
Ein Erlebnis war z. B. ein ökumenischer Zug von Katholiken und Protestanten(ich glaube im Frühling 1970).
Würzburg .. noch nach 40 Jahren habe ich viele Erinnerungen, viele Dokumente, Fotos und Dias, Protokolle
der eigenen wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit - und manche histologische Bilder nutze ich für meine
Eotorinolaryngologie.
Die damalige Unterstützung von Herrn Prof. Wullstein und dem Oberarzt Herrn M.E. Wigand ist für mich
unvergesslich. Prof. Wigand war später der Direktor der HNO Klinik in Erlangen und wir trafen uns noch vor
drei Jahren in Hradec Králov. Würzburg als Stadt brachte mir damals viel in Bezug auf Historie und Kultur,
doch auch hinsichtlich der Überlegungen über den katastrophalen 2. Weltkrieg.

About me
I am a person that is constantly busy at the university and in the Eye clinic, but I
love to arrive home back and leave outside all the problems that don't belong to
Home.
I am married with my lifelong partner, she accompanies in the difficult moments
and she is close to me in my happiness. I have two children, a boy who was born in
Germany during my scholarship and now he studies administration, and my
daughter who was born just when we returned to our country. She studies publicity
and marketing, both in Lima.
I consider myself fortunate in life.
Time in Wuerzburg
I have been at the University of Wuerzburg because I got a DAAD exchange program scholarship, then I
made my doctor degree in Medicine, in the Ophthalmology Clinic. My advising professors were Prof. Dr. med
Anselm Kampik, Prof. Dr. med Gerhard Hasenfratz and Prof. Dr. rer. Nat. Wolfgang Haigis.

International Book, University of Wuerzburg
My most memorable experience during my stay .. I have many memorable experiences in Würzburg, all of
them have to do with the extraordinary quality of people I got to know. One of those that I am glad to
remember was just 2 days before we had to return to our country: I have approved my doctoral examination
and the director of the clinic invited myself and my wife to his house to celebrate it.
I told my best friend Carlo Schönfeld, that regrettably I could not accept the invitation to the director's
house, because I had no babysitter to leave my 1 year-old son, we have not been able to get anybody in the
last minute. He immediately told me if I was crazy, and he would stay to take care of my son. He insisted in
that, and at the end of the night when we returned to our department we found him sleeping in our couch
and my 1 year-old son has been taken care of by him. It was an act of friendship. We have valued it a lot and
it remarks that in Würzburg, you can make unconditional friends forever.
Wuerzburg is .. a mountain in the course of a river, this city changed my life in an incredible way. Until I got
my scholarship from DAAD, the course of my life seemed to have a destination, but it was changed when I
have met a new reality.
I have built my new road becoming trained and many things that I have received at that time I even maintain,
Würzburg gave to me my subspecialty in ophthalmology and opened a different panorama about life. It
granted me very sad moments as my father's death during my scholarship as well as very happy news, like
my first son's birth.
It was also a wonderful experience as young ophthalmologist recently graduated of the university, it taught
us, my wife and me, to enjoy life with simplicity and to thank little things that we had at homeland and we
didn’t give value until then. We learned how to survive far from home and make new friends for the whole
lifetime.

Bacterial infectious diseases: respiratory, diarrheal, cutaneous, systemic and
zoonotic diseases; emphasis on agents: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. leprae,
M. ulcerans, Leptospira sp., Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus,
Brucella melitensis, Salmonella enterica ser. Typhi, other Salmonellae, Vibrio
cholerae, Bartonella bacilliformis. While at the University of Würzburg I did
research on the isolation and maintenance culture of tissue macrophages from
mouse liver and their infection with Listeria monocytogenes.

About me
There is little more to say; I am a family man, fortunate to have a large, nice,
cohesive, academically-oriented family, consisting of a wonderful wife, Elena
(since 1967) and 5 children, Cristina, Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,
Heidelberg; Pablo, Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences, Lima; Javier,
Informatics expert, married to Carmen - they have a daughter, Ximena, and a son,
Sergio; Mabel, M.Sc in Zoology, Santiago, Chile, and Ecology, Lyon, working toward
her Ph.D. at Montpellier and married to David Genoux-Lubain - they have two sons,
Milan and Tomás; and Daniel, Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,
Brussels.
Time in Wuerzburg
I have been at the University of Wuerzburg because of an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. My advising
Professor was Prof. Dr. Heinz Seeliger (deceased) and Prof. Dr. Herbert Hof.
My most memorable experience during my stay .. that is certainly the trip we made from Unterdurrbach to
Aachen to attend a German Congress of Tropical Medicine. We prepared our old VW Kombi so that our
children, from 12 to 5 years old, could all sleep in it, and drove the distance. We slept in tents, one for the
children and one for Elena and myself, in a different place each night, and ventured into nearby Holland
once. We met Dr. Axel Kroeger, from Heidelberg, who was the only speaker who presented work from Latin
America, and we have been friends since then, collaborating in many ways; he actually sent about seven of
his students our way for their Habitur work.
On the way back, we visited the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation headquarters, where I became closer
friends with the Secretary General Prof.Dr. Heinrich Pfeiffer and Dr. Gisela Janetzke; we were hosted by Dr.
Gert Schilling, of the University of Bonn, who had worked in Lima for his habitur, and his wife, and attended
a reception at the Peruvian Embassy. As the final touches, we had a last day close to Bonn and enjoyed the
Phantasialand amusement park, and spent an evening at Dr. Axel Kroeger’s home in Heidelberg. This was
certainly a very profitable experience, which has had deep consequences for our whole family, academically
and culturally.
Wuerzburg is .. an extremely nice city, which provided me an opportunity to connect much more closely with
my growing family in 6 months (December 1980 – June 1981) and to return to more basic research work than
I did in Perú. We lived in a very pleasant small town, Unterdurrbach, and enjoyed evenings and weekends in
simple walks and also visiting local attractions and nearby towns with friends from the University, notably
Prof. Dr. Herbert Hof and his very nice family, his wife Dorothea and children Holger and Christina (Tini), Dr.
Angelika Schrettenbrunner and Dr. Jörg Hacker, who was not a celebrated Prof.Dr. at the time.

My most memorable experience during my stay .. as I was studying Brentanian stuff in the Brentano

Residenz were asking me about directions.
Memorable were several visits to Baumgartners in the old castle outside Wuerzburg. I enjoyed the Alumni
gathering that allowed me to visit the wine cellar after all these years, for before that I was just sitting in the
institute and sometimes I could smell the wine, without knowing what it is like there deep down below.

renewed research visit. My advising professor was Professor Wolfgang Kiefer.
My most memorable experience during my stay .. a visit arranged by the International club ladies on my
request to nearby villages where I could see how the cows and others animals are kept.
Wuerzburg is .. a wonderful German classical town with memory of Church bells ringing.

Personally, I would like to experience different cultures and share the common
values as human beings. Professionally, I am interested in coronal magnetic field
reconstruction, solar radio bursts and their associations with solar flares and
coronal mass ejections, data processing for aperture synthesis, astronomical
methods and instrumentation. Presently I am constructing a new-generation solar
radio imaging spectroscopy facility: the Chinese Spectral Radioheliograph, also
promoting the Chinese space solar physics programs.

Time in Wuerzburg
I have been at the University of Wuerzburg because of the DAAD program (research Grants). My advising
professor was Professor Dr. Norbert Schulz. I am grateful that DAAD gave me such a unique opportunity to
visit Germany. Owing to that experience, I extended my knowledge and enriched my worldview that
significantly influenced my future career goals..
Würzburg is .. one of the most beautiful city in Germany. The city absorbed the different epochs, which left a
mark on the architecture of the city. There are lots of beautiful flowering trees, especially magnolias in the
center. I warmly remember all whom I met there because they are part of this nice memory.
I often reminisce about the time I spent in Würzburg, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Würzburg
embodies the uniqueness of different epochs, the uniqueness that can be traced in the magnificent
architecture, art, and culture of the city. The city’s breathtaking natural beauty shines through its gorgeous
gardens, Magnolia trees, and flowers. I warmly remember all the people I met there as they all create a
wonderful memory of the great time I had in Würzburg.

Über meine Person
Ich bin verheiratet, und zwar mit einer überaus verständnisvollen Ehefrau,
die genauso wie ich Deutschland und Würzburg bewundert und mich
immer wieder seit 1989 nach Würzburg begleitet hat. Wir haben zwei
Jungs, die auch viele kleine Stücke ihres Lebens in Würzburg verbracht
haben. Ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass Improvisation und methodische
Planung, Einbildungskraft und Ordnung oder Gründlichkeit zwei Seiten
derselben Medaille sind.

Zeit in Wuerzburg
Zum ersten Mal war ich für Forschungsaufenthalte: 1979, 1983 (Instituto Italo-Tedesco di Merano ), 1988,
1989 und 2006, der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung an der Universität Würzburg. 2002 war ich Visiting
Professor. 2007, 2008, 2009 und 2010 war ich im Rahmen des Sokrates Programms an der Universität
Würzburg. Meine Betreuer waren Prof. Franz Francesco Wiedmann und Prof. Wilhelm Baumgartner.
Mein unvergessliches Erlebnis während meines Aufenthaltes .. der erste kurze Aufenthalt als Student in
Würzburg, wo ich alles wiederfand, was mein Vater mir erzählt hatte. Er war in Peines Gefängnislager als
Kriegsgefangener gewesen und wog, als er aus diesem Lager am Ende des Krieges heimkam, ungefähr 40
Kilo.
Und doch hatte er mir immer wieder die gemeinschaftliche Zusammengehörigkeit und die
Leistungsanerkennung als deutsche Tugend, die ihm in Italien am meisten fehlte, gelobt.
Würzburg ist .. ein Ort, wo ich mich gemütlicher und geborgener fühle als in meiner Heimat; ein Ort, wohin
ich mit Sehnsucht nach meinem wahren Sinn und meinem wahren Geschick immer wieder zurückkomme.
