Abstract
The objective was to demonstrate how, as witnessed in the particular case of one molecular biology laboratory in Buenos Aires, different types of scientific migration emerged, such that they were responsible for the very constitution of this laboratory. To this end, a brief description of the historical background of the scientific community in Argentina, its political-institutional context, and the successive migrational periods which have been produced in the country will be presented. Before discussing this particular case, three 'ideal types' which may be useful in understanding the different types of migration embarked upon by scientists will be described.
