Birth[2]

Campos-Ortega attended a Dominican religious school for his secondary education (roughly ages 12 to 16).[2] In 1958 (at 18) he started studying Medicine, which had been a tradition in his family and a financial necessity in Spain of the period; this pursuit was at the cost of setting aside his burgeoning interest in histology and research.[2]
