About
Hi! I am Maria Jose. I am a professor at University Ibero Puebla in Mexico. I work with nutraceutical and functional food, and developing biometrials.
Previous work
I'm a Chemical Engineer, with a master degree in Biotechnology, a doctorate in Biochemical Engineering, and postdoc in materials. My researches are mainly focused on the development of products for the revaluation of agro-industrial waste, development of polymeric matrices with applications in tissue, textil, environmental and food engineering. I have experience in the evaluation of antioxidant activity, identification and purification of compounds, evalation of in vitro cytotoxicity and development and evaluation of functional foods and nutraceuticals. In 2017 I was recorgnized by Tec de Monterrey with the "Mujer Tec" prize in the "she4she" categoty, wich is awarded to women promoters of female talent. Im member of Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering (SMBB), RED PDAs CONACYT, ambassador of Thought For Food and member of committe of AMECA A.C. 2023-2025. Im a full-time professor at the University Ibero Puebla.
