i4 Chair

For this project we were positioned under the scheme of this chair to administrate our funding and role in the school. The students chair (i4) is a opportunity offered by the Tecnológico de Monterrey in Monterrey, through its School of Biotechnology and Health Sciences, to students interested in biotechnology and food industries develop projects in the area. The concept is based on four core values:

  1. Imagine.
  2. Investigate.
  3. Innovate.
  4. Incubate.

Student teams, like ours, that want to apply your project may reach hatching their own business, running an article in scientific research, process your patent application and compete internationally. We are specally grateful with them for their generous sponsorship, that allowed us to get the genes and some material for the project.

School of Biotechnology and Health Sciences (ESCB: Escuela de Biotecnología y Ciencias de la Salud)

The School of Biotechnology and Health Sciences integrates talent, infrastructure and curriculum design to provide the best educational, research and knowledge transfer in Mexico and Latin America. Our school combines science and technology to create value and quality of life in society, and sustainable processes and performed with the highest degree of social responsibility. Thus, our motto "Integrating Science, Technology and Business" describes the vision of outcomes generated in every academic program.


FEMSA Biotechnology Center

The FEMSA Biotechnology Center in the Tecnológico de Monterrey integrates researchers from several academic departments to create interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary groups. Also, it's dedicated to generate research, knowledge transfer and business design models in food and biotechnology areas. It emerged 15 years ago as a response to the growing trend in scientific and technological innovation in the country and the whole world. Through time, the Biotechnology Center has developed lines of biotechnology research directed toward the innovation of processes, products, and services.


Tecnológico de Monterrey

Our institution Tecnológico de Monterrey located in Monterrey, Nuevo León, which was founded on 1943 by Eugenio Garza Sada and a group of businessmen formed a civil- and nonprofit partnership, named Higher Education and Research, A.C.

Based in Monterrey, Mexico, the Institute has 31 campuses in 25 cities throughout the countryand is known for becoming the first university ever connected to the Internet in Latin America, having one of the top graduate business schools in the region and being one of the leaders in patent applications among Mexican universities.

Today, the Tecnológico de Monterrey is a multicampus system with five common core values: innovation, global vision, team work, humanistic outlook and integrity.
