Healthy Food Unit

alimentos saludables
Healthy Food Unit

Seeks the development of foods that prevent and combat obesity and other comorbidities associated with metabolic syndrome.

What does this unit do?

It selects the varieties of plant, animal, and single-celled species relevant to a diverse, healthy, and sustainable diet. Additionally, the interactions among nutrients and other chemical compounds during food processing, storage, and digestion are validated to design better foods for different populations.

Healthy Food

In Mexico, healthy food production is very variable due to the wide range of climatic conditions and migratory movements that have occurred and continue to occur in the national territory. On the one hand, traditional production systems focus on the diversity of vegetable crops and collecting local fruits and seeds that encourage a diverse diet. On the other hand, in some regions of the country, there is a greater degree of technology to increase the yield and quality of food, advancing the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal #2 (SDG 2): zero hunger. Finding a balance in these approaches would move us toward fulfilling SDG 12: Responsible production and consumption.

Your food is your medicine

For centuries, it has been recognized that the consumption of healthy foods has a close relationship with good health in the present and future. Today there is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Hippocrates' phrase "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food" leads to three grand challenges:

  1. How to design food for population groups already suffering from certain chronic-degenerative diseases?
  2. How to design foods that help prevent these diseases?
  3. Understanding the reactions between a food's components and an individual's state of health

Currently, there are advances in understanding nutritional needs and the relevance of consuming antioxidant compounds, immunostimulants, and other beneficial health effects, but further research is required to support each individual to make the best choice based on their habits, customs, traditions, and specific needs. That is one of the challenges of this unit.

Experimental Medicine and Advanced Therapies Unit

Medicina Experimental y Terapias Avanzadas
Experimental Medicine and Advanced Therapies Unit

Experimental prevention and treatment therapies in preclinical models, which lay the foundations for clinical studies of patients with metabolic disease and obesity.

What does this unit do?

In this unit, we develop novel therapies of synthetic molecules, natural products, immunomodulatory strategies, cellular and molecular therapy, and controlled release systems, which can generate proofs-of-concept and personalized treatments (drugs) for metabolic diseases.

Experimental medicine

Experimental medicine refers to deciphering the pathophysiological mechanisms of various diseases, identifying new therapeutic targets, and contributing to developing new drugs.

Although experimental medicine is widely developed with different approaches in Mexico, as in many countries worldwide, translating its major advances into cutting-edge and direct clinical applications is a constant challenge. Few groups in our country have achieved such transfer. Tecnologico de Monterrey has some successful examples in the transfer of experimental medicine, which has allowed the institution to lay the foundation to improve the coordination of efforts and transfer results from the laboratory to clinical practice.

Design of new drugs

In the context of obesity, some comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and fatty liver require developing new drugs that reduce morbidity and mortality.

There is currently no ideal treatment for obesity and its comorbidities; for this reason, our health system seeks a new route for prevention and treatment with new drugs and innovative therapies that are more effective, specific, and with less risk of side effects.

Experimental prevention and treatment therapies in preclinical models, which lay the foundations for clinical studies of patients with metabolic disease and obesity.

What does this unit do?

In this unit, we develop novel therapies of synthetic molecules, natural products, immunomodulatory strategies, cellular and molecular therapy, and controlled release systems, which can generate proofs-of-concept and personalized treatments (drugs) for metabolic diseases.

Experimental medicine

Experimental medicine refers to deciphering the pathophysiological mechanisms of various diseases, identifying new therapeutic targets, and contributing to developing new drugs.

Although experimental medicine is widely developed with different approaches in Mexico, as in many countries worldwide, translating its major advances into cutting-edge and direct clinical applications is a constant challenge. Few groups in our country have achieved such transfer. Tecnologico de Monterrey has some successful examples in the transfer of experimental medicine, which has allowed the institution to lay the foundation to improve the coordination of efforts and transfer results from the laboratory to clinical practice.

Design of new drugs

In the context of obesity, some comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and fatty liver require developing new drugs that reduce morbidity and mortality.

There is currently no ideal treatment for obesity and its comorbidities; for this reason, our health system seeks a new route for prevention and treatment with new drugs and innovative therapies that are more effective, specific, and with less risk of side effects.
