Mapeo de Florecimiento Humano en Latinoamérica

En agosto del 2023 emprendimos un estructurado viaje para investigar y así reconocer el panorama que abraza la investigación regional y capacidades de liderazgo en el estudio del Florecimiento Humano en México, Colombia, Chile y Brasil.

El propósito central de este proyecto lidereado por el Tecnológico de Monterrey, con la participación de investigadores de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile y la Universidad de los Andes (TRIADA), y la colaboración de Nossa Terra Firme, es mapear la investigación académica sobre florecimiento humano en América Latina; para el cual nuestra institución, obtuvo un fondo para investigación otorgado por la Templeton World Charity Foundation, (TWCF).

Reports and Publications

Our international programs offer unique experiences and the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and discover that commonalities far outweigh differences. Each culture is unique, and this experience is enriching anywhere in the world. At Tec de Monterrey, we educate leaders with an entrepreneurial spirit, a sense of humanity and who are internationally competitive. Therefore, as part of our internationalization strategy, we have worked on forging solid relations with hundreds of universities across the planet. To date, we have entered into more than 746 agreements with foreign universities in over 50 countries that are available to you.

A fundamental part of internationalization takes place on the campuses, thanks to the presence of students from every corner of the world. The multicultural environment, which contributes enormous value to the global vision of the Tec de Monterrey community, is the result of the presence of students from more than 70 countries who take classes at the institution’s diverse campuses.

Integrative Biology Unit

Integrative Biology Unit

Diagnosing, preventing, and treating metabolic diseases and obesity by integrating a large, diverse amount of experimental data on individuals, populations, and their environments.

What does this unit do?

The great challenge of this unit is to understand the factors and integrate them for a global and deep comprehension of diseases. Managing massive data and translating it into scientific knowledge is the challenge undertaken in this unit, with the vision of translating it into new diagnoses, therapies, and preventive elements that reduce the rates of obesity and other metabolic diseases in the Mexican and Latin American populations.

Obesity: a multifactorial problem

Mexicans have aggravated obesity and metabolic disorders leading to much lower life expectancies than those in developed countries. The characteristics of these disorders remain not fully understood in our population. Genetic, epigenetic, dietary, environmental, and lifestyle factors affect the development of metabolic diseases and their prognoses.

Integrative biology

Integrative biology refers to the interest in different areas of biology, from molecules shaped by genes and proteins to individual organisms, populations, and even ecosystems. The interdisciplinary research in this area seeks diversity and incorporation by managing all biological organizational levels.

In Mexico, integrative biology has been developed recently to enhance the study of living beings and their environments from the level of communities to the molecular level. The creation of Integrative Biology means elucidating biological complexity through interdisciplinary strategies and state-of-the-art technologies, including the massive study of data and the application of disciplines such as computational biology, genetics, developmental cell biology, and biological chemistry.

The topics and lines of research currently being developed in Mexico in other institutions include environment and biodiversity, environmental education, social participation, microbiology, ethology, and agriculture. At the Institute, we focus on human health and well-being, including functional genomics and the effects of the environment (diet, lifestyle, exposure to the environment, etc.).

Types of research

Genomic and metabolomic characteristics of Mexicans (population and families) with metabolic disorders contrasted with those in the same environment remaining healthy.
Multiomic effects of the usual diet, sensory preferences, and new foods of the Mexican and Latin American populations with approaches to pregnancy and early childhood.
Generation of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) elements to support and justify the design of new diagnoses, therapies, and public policies to combat metabolic diseases.
Vitamin dietary interventions and functional fats from childhood and their effects on improving comorbidities related to obesity and metabolic diseases in adults.

Meet the researchers

* About Research Professors: They are principal investigators (PIs) who dedicate 75% of their time to research and 25% of their time to faculty (teaching) activities in the school they are assigned at Tecnológico de Monterrey (in IOR’s case, either the School of Medicine, School of Engineering, or School of Government).
