Juan Carlos Fasciolo Rosso, Argentine biochemist (Pigue 05 April 1911 – Mendoza 11 October 1993)

Authored over 100 papers 

With L.F. Leloir, J. M. Muñoz, E. Braun-Menendez and A. Taquini discovered angiotensin and described enzymatic nature of renin-angiotensin system and its relationship to arterial hypertension

Recognized that renal ischemia induces renin secretion
