Gustavo Hoecker Salas, Chilean biologist (Rere, Biobío Province, VIII Region, December 05 December 1915 – 19 March 2008)

Authored over 100 scientific papers

Defined that H2 complex in chromosome 17 of mice was a genetic complex independent of Snell

Postulated that isoantigens participate in the mechanism of recognition of foreigness

Described a new tumor

With D. Brncic. Nuevo sarcoma transmisible de la gallina. Rev. Sudam. Morfol. 7:56-74, 1949
