Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion Salvador Zubiran Mexico City

The Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion Salvador Zubiran, isn’t hard to translate into English (National Institute of Nutrition of Salvador Zubiran), nor are its goals and mission statement. Salvador Zubiran refers to Doctor Salvador Zubiran Anchondo, whom the institute is named for and dedicated to. Dr. Zubiran, born December 23, 1898, was one of Mexico’s top physicians and nutritionists. He attended the UNAM (National University of Mexico), where he received his MD, and later completed a medicine residency in Boston, Massachusetts at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
