Alan Avila (Nanotechnology)
Team Leader
Born into the deepest hoods of Torreón (La Laguna) and currently studying in Monterrey as a senior in nanotechnology engineering and chemistry science, I’m proudly participant of iGEM Tec-Monterrey team. One of my passions is science dissemination and the interdisciplinary interaction of different careers and vocations in it. My goal in life is to get the enough resources to help people to self-fulfill their dreams and to enhance their quality of life. My hobbies are: languages learning and hanging around/walking in new places. As random fact before dedicating completely to science I was a street skateboarder for around 8 years. Hope to see you at Boston soon!

Hi, Hallo, Hola! Researching, designing experiments and leading the group in lab activities were main main tasks. My passion is the biotechnology and how is it possible to used it in different areas that can impact in human life. That's why I am almost ending my bachelor degree in this area. In the team I am also known as Charlie, so if you see me I respond for both names. I live in Monterrey city since I was 5 years old. I love competitions like IGEM because they bring new ideas, new talents and young people together to develop projects of great impact in biological science and bioengineering. I love to play tennis. This is my main hobby. I love to make new friends. Hope to see you in the competition!

Samantha Peña (Biotechnology)
Wet Lab / Design
My name is Samantha Peña, and I'm 18 years old. I'm from Nuevo León, México. I've been a passionate for science since I can remember, and my entire life has turned around this fact. I've always been into the search for a better world. Not only for our generation, but to aim for a better future. I'm kind of a perfectionist and a true hardworker. If I think something is going wrong, even the slightest, I do it over again in order to get the results I was expecting.

Esteban de la Peña (Nanotechnology)
Web Developer
Hello there! As the main developer of this wiki, it's an honor to have you reading my description. People call me Esteban, or Steve if you want, I come from the small state of Aguascalientes, but I’ve been living in Monterrey since I was 6, and now I’m 20 years old. I love chemistry, programming, and science in general. I also love to paint digitally, draw , play videogames and hangout with friends.

My goal in life, and the reason why I love projects like iGEM, is to make science cool and accessible for everyone. This is because I believe that science itself is always benefiting Humanity. Even though some people use it wrong, the net force of science is always forward.

Hello!, Let me introduce myself, I’m 20 years old and I’m currently studying the 3rd year of biotechnology engineering major with a minor in molecular biology. I come from Michoacan, Mexico but I’m living in Monterrey. I like to spent hours playing musical instrument because their sound kind of relaxes me. My favorite video game is Age of Empires, I love making epic battles with friends. What I love the most is to expand the knowledge of science, to get known that we are able to explore new áreas of opportunity and give solutions for humanity problems, and there is no better place to start that the challenge of being part of an iGem Team.

Sofía Lara Ochoa (Nanotechnology)
Human Practices / Wet Lab
Helloo! I'm a student of nanotechnology and chemical sciences. I work at Residencias Tec, the dormitories for students. Being part of an iGEM team was my first approach to molecular biology and multidisciplinary team work. I believe in hard work and lifelong learning. I'm so thankful with the work we've all done during this last year, I hope we find ourselves closer to a future where we apply our abilities and knowledge to make the world a better place. Thank you iGEM for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences in the lab and out of it.

Hi! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I come from Chihuahua, Mexico but I study in Monterrey. I am 20 years old, in my junior year majoring in biotechnology engineering. My minor is biological processes. I wanted to join an iGEM team since I heard about it in high school and, during the 4th semester, the opportunity to fulfil my dream arrived. In my free time, I like to watch any TV show and movie that is on Netflix. I also enjoy cooking, tennis, and karaoke, but my biggest passion is learning more about chemistry and biotechnology, specifically industrial biotechnology.

PhD. José Manuel Aguilar Yañez
Primary PI
José Manuel Aguilar majored in Biology with a specialty in Molecular Biology, and holds a PhD in Biotechnology. He was responsible for the production of a more efficient procedure for the detection of influenza H1N1 during its pandemic, and the development of a vaccine using bacteria instead of chicken eggs. We thank him for his guidance and support during the project development.

Cuauhtémoc Licona Lascani
Primary PI
Cuauhtémoc Licona majored in Biotechnology at the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico. He has a M.Sc. in Biochemical Sciences from UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and a Ph.D. in Systems Biology from the University of Queensland. He gave us access to the laboratory at the beginning of the project. He lent a hand when biological packages arrived to our university and provided us lab materials needed for our project.

Luis Mario Leal
Secondary PI
As our secondary PI, instructor, advisor, ExiGEMer, and genetic engineering lab professor, Luis Mario was a key member of the Tec-Monterrey Team. We are especially grateful for his guidance on the development of the different competition parameters, the selection of our project’s topic, and the design of most important constructs. He showed commitment and responsibility towards our team and really helped us out regarding the organization of the team.

MsC. Ricardo Camilo Chávez:
Instructor
He is a bachelor in Biotechnology Engineering and a MsC in Synthetic Biology from Edinburgh's University. iGEMer for around 8 years; Camilo’s experience was helpful to sort out problems in and out the lab. He was always there, willing to give us some advice about any kind of issues. He also helped us in contacting some of the other Mexican iGEM teams. On the worsts times, at the beginning of the project, he helped to give us support and keeping us strong for pursuing with the iGEM teams.
