GSL Classroom is an initiative of the Vice-Rectory for International Affairs that aims to link an Educational Unit of Tecnológico de Monterrey with a course from an international partner university, through an international element, using technological tools to connect students, foster collaboration and facilitate learning in multicultural environments.

This international component is included in the course of each of the participating universities, partially or totally, and its length can be extended throughout the course or applied to a specific module or topic with a minimum duration of four weeks.

Professors can decide on elements such as the type of partner they consider suitable for the collaboration, the total length of the experience, the type of interaction (synchronous or asynchronous), the kind of activities, and the evaluation rubric, among other academic elements.

The participating professors work together to design three main activities focused on interaction and cultural exchange between students in digital environments, collaborative work in multicultural teams to achieve a common goal and reflection on differences and similarities with their peers during collaboration.

Biomedical Engineering

About the Group

The mission of our group is to generate knowledge, new applications, and developments in the area of tissue engineering and biomedical engineering combining biological and engineering concepts.

We use reactions mediated by cells and their components (e.g. enzymes and nucleic acids) to generate high-added-value products and applications. These needs are typically related to the study, diagnosis, or treatment of infectious or chronic-degenerative diseases.

Our group integrates resources of science and technology of materials and biomaterials, nanotechnology, microfluidics, microfabrication, genomics and genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and cell culture in applications that could save lives.

Research lines

• Micro and nanotechnologies for study, diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases
• Tissue engineering: Bioprinting or "bioprinting", cell and tissue culture and organ-on-a-chip systems
• Engineering of biomaterials for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications
