Gutierrez-Uribe, Janet Alejandra
Dr. Janet Gutiérrez is an Associate Professor in the NutriOmics research group at the School of Engineering and Sciences from Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Director of the Department of Bioengineering and Science from the South Region of Tecnológico de Monterrey. For over 15 years, she has been working on the phytochemistry and nutritional biochemistry of phenolic compounds and other nutraceuticals. She has published more than 90 papers in different prestigious journals and is the inventor of more than 10 patents and applications in Mexico and abroad. Working with industry and social services are her main drivers in the development of challenges related to biochemistry, molecular biology, cell culture and nutraceutical discovery and characterization. In 2017, the State of Nuevo Leon awarded her with the medal for the Civic Merit due to her research career.
She is a member of the National Researchers Council; the technical committee of the National Network for Research on functional foods and nutraceuticals (AlfaNutra) and participant in CYTED Network for Foods with Probiotic functionality for malnourished childen (PROINFANT). Additionally, since 2018, she is a part of the Young Scientists selected by the World Economic Forum.
Licea-Claverie, Angel
Dr Angel Licea-Claveríe is a full-time Professor at the Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana, which is part of the Tecnológico Nacional de México (Mexico). He completed his PhD on Polymer Chemistry at the Leuna-Merseburg Technological University in Germany (1990). He has 20 years of experience in the study of temperature and pH sensitive polymers and 14 years of experience on controlled radical polymerization techniques.
