Breading that absorbs less fat
In 2015, we worked with FRUTIBSE in the food processing area to generate breading with reduced fat absorption.
Meat substitute with high nutritional value
Dr. María Guadalupe Moreno collaborated with company Transferencia de Conocimiento to crate a meat analogue with high nutritional value.
This project was registered in the Incentive Program to Innovation in 2016.
Valve homograft implant for cardiovascular diseases
Dr. María Guadalupe Moreno Treviño developed a valve homograft implant for cardiovascular diseases. This project was registered by CONACYT in 2016.
Along with this project, UDEM’s Bank of Cells, Tissues, and Organs was also set up. It contributes to strengthening national infrastructure for the preservation of cardiovascular tissues.
An efficient method to detect polymorphism
Researchers Rafael B. León Cachón, María Guadalupe Moreno Treviño, and Denis Aideé Martínez Treviño developed a method to detect GSTM3 A/B polymorphism in Human DNA samples in 2017. Polymorphism is related to the metabolism of drugs and carcinogens; therefore, it is associated with cancer.
Currently, polymorphism detection is carried out mostly through PCR-nucleotide sequencing and RFLPs. However, this requires long processes that can be costly. This innovation consists of designing TaqMan probes specific to the genetic variants and using another method called PCR in real time.
App to diagnose cancer in real time
Universidad de Monterrey graduates Alejandro López, Andrés Garzafox, and Sergio Hurtado, developed Dermapp, a cellphone app that assesses, analyzes, and determines the risk of suffering from skin cancer.
If the app yields a disturbing result, the user can be referred to a specialist to decide on the course of action to be undertaken.
Pressure controller for sleep disorder
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during breathing. It is one of the most serious sleep disorders.
A positive pressure controller in the airway was created to treat it.
