Current profession

Current professional activities type: 
Research
Dr. Chavez-Santoscoy belongs to NutriOmics research group at the School of Engineering and Science from Tecnológico de Monterrey and Leader of National Laboratory for Genomic Sequencing Tec BASE. She has been working on the phytochemistry and the functional effect of phenolic compounds and other nutraceuticals not only in-vitro and in-vivo models but also in pilot clinical trials. Besides, her research has been focused on the design and evaluation of active ingredients, mainly with the use of nanotechnology for the overproduction of active compounds (harvest or post-harvest overproduction) or the stabilization of components within a food, to support lipid and glucose metabolism. She has published 18 research articles in prestigious journals and is the inventor of 3 patents in Mexico. Her innovative projects have earned her international recognition as Innovators under 35 LatAm 2017 Recognition by MIT Technology Review, for the development of a Functional Bread for chronic diseases, this recognition is the highest recognition granted to researchers and entrepreneurs working in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. She is a member of the National Researchers Council, currently as Level 1. Member of the technical committee of the National Network of Bionanotechnology focused on Public health, veterinary medicine, food, and biosecurity.
