Dr. Baldomero Olivera, Jr. is recognized for his significant studies and 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 for pain, epilepsy, and other disorders of the nervous system. His researches on marine gastropods and his keen sense of observation have led to the elucidation of the mechanism of action, functions, and classification of the neuroactive Conus peptides into families and superfamilies. Dr. Olivera serves as an inspiration to Filipino biochemists and other scientists, as he, since the early stages of his career, has contributed significantly to the growth of molecular biology and biotechnology with his isolation and characterization of the key enzymes such as DNA ligase and the DNA polymerase. He has been very generous in sharing his expertise with students, research assistants and faculty members of various universities; he has helped obtain fellowships for their training here and abroad, and has maintained a partnership and collaboration with the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute in the country for more than three decades.
