Investigación en México sobre medicamentos biotecnológicos, ingeniería de tejidos y biosensores para diagnóstico

Abstract

Research groups who develop scientific advances in bioinformatics and biotechnological drugs, biomaterials for tissue engineering and diagnostics methods based in nanotechnology already exist in Mexico. This chapter presents basic and introductory aspects of the definitions and outreach of each discipline, as well as an extensive list of the research groups and institutions where pertinent studies are carried out to provide an update about the main focus of each investigation team. The information provided may be useful to create inter and multidisciplinary teams and thereby foster substantial improvements in these research areas. In addition, national regulations required on the field of biotechnological drugs, biomaterials for tissue engineering and diagnostics devices are presented with the objective that related and innovative projects could be taken to the market for the benefit of our society.
