Invited by the Dr. Shyama Narang Foundation President Vasanth Rao for the 2nd International Conference on ALS/MND organized jointly by NIMHANS & Dr. Shyama Narang Foundation 21st-22nd June 2023. Prof. Dr. Gustavo Zubieta-Calleja Head of the High Altitude Pulmonary and Pathology Institute (HAPPI-IPPA) presented his innovative talk “Can Exposure to Hypoxia and Chronic Hypoxia be beneficial in ALS/MND?”.
Following the invitation by Prof. Thuppil Venkatesh “The Lead Man of India”, he likewise presented conferences regarding acid-base at high altitude, tolerance to hypoxia, and adaptation to high altitude at different Universities and Hospitals in several cities in the Karnataka area.
Additionally, he participated in the inauguration of the Center for rainforest restoration headed by Dr. Malali Gowda. Finally, he visited outstanding research centers and many temples with magnificent structures. These were nine days of intense activity, travel by plane, train, and car, enjoying the excellent food in different restaurants, and above all re-encounter with very dear friends.

[12:09, 12/5/2022] Gustavo Zubieta: Dear Dr. Meera: [12:10, 12/5/2022] Gustavo Zubieta: Wonderful article! Very detailed and extensive. Congratulations, well done!!! Thank you for citing me!! All the best!! [12:12, 12/5/2022] +91 86100 66441: 🙏💐it was a pleasure to have met the scientific community through the conference. Your thoughts and work mean a lot to ayurveda. It will establish ayurveda’s scientificity in the long run.. A few centuries from now.. [12:13, 12/5/2022] +91 86100 66441: You are much ahead.. Our world is much behind Dr Gustavo [12:19, 12/5/2022] Gustavo Zubieta: I am truly impressed on how you have interpreted our work. Splendid because you understand the concepts!!! Ayurveda has great wisdom instilled, and it results from millenary experience and the adequate use of intelligence based on doing good for the well-being of the whole world community. It also uses nature to heal. That is magnificent!!! Thank you so much for those sincere and warm words, which honor us greatly!! Hope to meet you soon in the near future!!
Once again, we had a magnificent scientific and friendly event on Oct 10-14, 2022. We had outstanding speakers from around the globe and a great scientific program. We thank all of you for helping us make this a great event in chronic hypoxia unique in the world.
We thank all the organizers that did a splendid job! The full details can be found here.

Carries out joint research with his daughter Dr. Natalia Zubieta-DeUrioste, MD. They collaborate with BLDE University India, Laval University, Canada.
BUT, WHO IS HE REALLY?
……. Well… kind of difficult to say. He has been described as a “Renaissance Man” along with his father Prof. Dr. Gustavo Zubieta-Castillo, because of his extensive know-how.
He constructed with his father Prof. Dr. Gustavo Zubieta-Calleja the Chacaltaya Glass Pyramid Laboratory at 5,260masl, the highest laboratory in the world.
He has been invited to give talks in many parts of the world, including: India (5 times) USA Italy Ukraine Russia Spain Germany Poland Denmark Czech Republic Ecuador Colombia Brazil Chile Japan Tibet China
And many more…
Interested in learning more about him? Go to his blog. Make sure you navigate all around.
He constructed pulmonary function equipment, protein electrophoresis equipment, and even an elevator.
He is a top self-taught mechanical electronics engineer.
He developed hardware, software for medical records and on-line data loggers since 1981, being the first to have databases in the medical field.
Distinctions and Awards: Several, but he is not interested. Rather, he created the “Science, Honor and Truth” Award
His publications are extensively read:
