Eduardo Saldana Cantu

As a clinical cytogeneticist using genetic methods to ‎diagnose heritable disorders in pediatric and cancer ‎patients, Eduardo Saldaña Cantú dedicated nearly ‎forty years of service. He was director of major ‎academic and commercial clinical laboratories. ‎Importantly, he also contributed to the development ‎of new tests and a better understanding of these ‎diseases. He loved his profession, but he also wanted ‎to honor his father's wish to write about the family's ‎history. Dr. Cantú recently retired, and as he had ‎promised his father, he is now writing about past ‎times when things were so different, but important ‎enough not to be forgotten.‎
