Overview

Dr. Carlos Aguilar is an expert on the pathophysiology, treatment, and management of dyslipidemias and type 2 diabetes in Mexico. He is a surgeon specializing in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and holds a doctorate in Medical Research. His main contributions include: participating in the identification of new genes involved in the pathophysiology of Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia; being part of the team that conducted the first genome-wide study to identify the genetic variants that modulate plasma lipid levels in Mexicans; and helping identify the R230C variant of the ABC-A1 transporter (a variant specific to Amerindian populations) as a determinant of HDL cholesterol concentrations in Mexicans, among others.

Since 1996, he has been deputy chief of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition (Mexico) and has been coordinator of the
Ethics Committee of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition since 2012. He is also a member of the National Academy of Medicine and has held positions such as director of examinations of the Mexican Board of Endocrinology and president of the Mexican Society of Nutrition and Endocrinology. 

Carlos Aguilar is a Level III researcher with the National System of Researchers in Mexico and a Level F researcher with the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. His scientific output is prolific, with more than 540 articles published in peer-reviewed and/or indexed journals and 66,711 citations. His research focuses on the peculiarities of metabolic diseases in Mexican mestizos, such as the pathophysiology of primary dyslipidemias, the epidemiology of type 2 diabetes, the development of predictive models for type 2 diabetes and its comorbidities, and the characterization of the mechanisms by which certain genetic variants are associated with type 2 diabetes. He received Mexico’s National Science Award in 2018.

Carlos Aguilar joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as Distinguished Visiting Professor in Epidemiology at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Overview

Dr. Carlos Aguilar is an expert on the pathophysiology, treatment, and management of dyslipidemias and type 2 diabetes in Mexico. He is a surgeon specializing in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and holds a doctorate in Medical Research. His main contributions include: participating in the identification of new genes involved in the pathophysiology of Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia; being part of the team that conducted the first genome-wide study to identify the genetic variants that modulate plasma lipid levels in Mexicans; and helping identify the R230C variant of the ABC-A1 transporter (a variant specific to Amerindian populations) as a determinant of HDL cholesterol concentrations in Mexicans, among others.

Since 1996, he has been deputy chief of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition (Mexico) and has been coordinator of the
Ethics Committee of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition since 2012. He is also a member of the National Academy of Medicine and has held positions such as director of examinations of the Mexican Board of Endocrinology and president of the Mexican Society of Nutrition and Endocrinology. 

Carlos Aguilar is a Level III researcher with the National System of Researchers in Mexico and a Level F researcher with the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. His scientific output is prolific, with more than 540 articles published in peer-reviewed and/or indexed journals and 66,711 citations. His research focuses on the peculiarities of metabolic diseases in Mexican mestizos, such as the pathophysiology of primary dyslipidemias, the epidemiology of type 2 diabetes, the development of predictive models for type 2 diabetes and its comorbidities, and the characterization of the mechanisms by which certain genetic variants are associated with type 2 diabetes. He received Mexico’s National Science Award in 2018.

Carlos Aguilar joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as Distinguished Visiting Professor in Epidemiology at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
