From August 2013 until July 2014 he headed the National Biotechnology Program of the National Council for Science, Technology & Technological Innovation of Peru (Concytec). From July 2014 until March 2015, he served -by presidential appointment- as Chief of the National Institute of Health of Peru (INS)[5] [6] [7] [8][9][10].

In August 2011, he was designated by president Humala's administration as General Director of Mining Environmental Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Mines. He served until November 2011, when the first Humala Cabinet -headed by Prime Minister Salomon Lerner- fell due to the political consequences of social and environmental conflicts between mining companies and the neighboring populations that took place in the provinces of Tacna and Cajamarca. His office was responsible for approval of Environmental Impact Assessments presented by mining companies. He reformulated a project -and thus obtained budgetary approval for USD 29 million from the Ministry of Economy- for remediation of rivers and their basins heavily polluted by past mining endeavors in the province of Puno

In 2007, Bustamante was elected to serve a two-year term as president (National Dean) of the Colegio de Biólogos del Perú [1], a professional organization -created by law- presently consisting of over 12,000 registered Peruvian biologists.

In 2005, he published a research article that demonstrates that the functional association of glucokinase (a hexokinase isoform) to mitochondrial metabolism and intracellular signaling of apoptosis in normal liver is actually not mediated by a physical association of this enzyme with mitochondria or either their inner membrane or outer membrane as proposed by others.

Bustamante was a fellow from the Ford Foundation, The Commonwealth Fund of New York, Eli Lilly and Company's Pre-doctoral Fellowship in Biology, E.I.

He has published over thirty peer-reviewed original research articles (Google Scholar) in the specialty of mitochondrial bioenergetics and molecular biology.

In 2001, Bustamante was named as national expert on the National Biosafety Group of Consejo Nacional del Ambiente, CONAM (National Environmental Council). In 2005 he was designated president of a transitory committee in charge of writing a new Bill to regulate the work of biologists to be presented to the Congress of Peru.
