- In 2022 he was awarded the official recognition of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to hematology.
- The specialist is a leader in the research and application of stem cell transplants that have saved hundreds of lives.
- Their contribution could be applied to cell regeneration in people with diabetes or severe burns.
Being able to stand out at the national level in a federation as complex as the health sector is difficult enough. There are many trained specialists with wide experience. And doing it globally is even more difficult for the same reasons. Despite the above, there is one Mexican doctor who achieved this and is today considered a World leader in immunotherapy.
in this case it is Dr. Alejandro Madrigal Fernandez, who leads research on cell therapy in stem cell transplantation. In fact, thanks to his work, he has saved hundreds of patients from various types of cancer, informed the Director General National Rehabilitation Institute (INR) “Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra”, Carlos Pineda Villaseñor.
He also highlighted the contribution of scientist Madrigal Fernandez Advances in cell therapy can be applied in the field of gerontological biotechnology. Also for cell regeneration in people with diabetes or in people with severe burns.
The most recent global advances in immunotherapy are led by a Mexican
During a presentation, Madrigal Fernandez reported that clinical trials conducted by his working group found that Stem cells have the ability to self-renew. In addition, they produce various components that may work as an anti-inflammatory treatment and for injuries or ulcers in people with diabetes.
He explained that cell therapy is used to replace or repair the function of abnormal cells that cause such diseases. Leukemia, lymphoma, lung and breast cancer, as well as infections and inflammatory processes.

In the INR’s “Nanhuatzin” auditorium and in front of the institute’s medical community, the researcher and professor of hematology at University College London highlighted that, in stem cell transplantation, the donor’s cells are genetically modified in the laboratory and is then introduced into the patient that requires it. To restore them to normal function, treat their disease, and achieve their cure.
He indicated that in the world More than 1.5 lakh patients have been treated with stem cell transplantation, of which 50% have survived.
The treatment began over 50 years ago as a result of the discovery of immune system replacement in people who had lost this ability due to radiation and nuclear accidents.

scientist Alejandro Madrigal Fernandez was awarded the official recognition of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II for his services in hematology, stem cell transplantation and cancer research.
Alejandro Madrigal Fernandez has given more than 600 lectures in 58 countries. The findings of his protocol are published in over 500 articles in journals such as Nature, Nature Genetics and The Lancet, between the other.
He is an honorary member of the National Academies of Medicine of Mexico and the Mexican Academies of Surgery, as well as a Correspondent of the Mexican Academy of Sciences and an Emeritus Professor of the National System of the National Council of Researchers (SNI).
