"Of the great universe of clinical nutrition, I became interested in non-communicable chronic diseases because they are the main challenge of every health professional."

What led Yareni Yunuen Gutiérrez Gómez to study clinical nutrition and specialize in non-communicable chronic diseases and population health was the fact that diseases could be prevented or treated thanks to it. She became interested in studying non-communicable chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer) because these cause 72 percent of deaths worldwide; however, their main risk factors can be avoided and are associated to nutrition. 

When Gutiérrez Gómez understood that individual treatment was influenced by many other far-reaching factors (social determinants of health and nutrition), she focused in population health. Observing existing programs and policies in México with a macro-approach, she can prevent ailments that generate a high psychological, economical and social cost. Although she considers the main challenge of her profession to be the modification of inappropriate lifestyles in people, she is also aware of the urgency of human resources in healthcare matters, which is why she is also passionate about teaching. 

She is convinced that empowered nutritionists can be agents of change in whatever environment they work in, they will help enrich the discipline and will contribute, together, to the progress of their country.

Marion E. G. Brunck received her PhD in Immunology and Systems Biology from the University of Queensland (Australia) in 2015, and her post-doctoral training from the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia (2016). She joined Tecnológico de Monterrey as faculty in 2018, and is currently an investigator at the Biotechnology Center-FEMSA. 

Marion Brunck's research focuses on mechanisms that regulate immune cell functions. Her laboratory (www.bruncklab.com), currently hosts 4 MSc. students, 2 Ph.D students, and counts with the suite of necessary equipment to undertake successfully immunology and synthetic biology research (BD FACSCelesta flow cytometer, culture biosafety hoods, incubators, microbiology and molecular equipment). As a team, the lab is interested in understanding endogenous and exogenous triggers that modify the phenotype of immune cell and their progenitors, to provide insights into possible applications of immunomodulation for therapeutic purposes. 

Marion received a competitive research scholarship from Stem Cells Australia to complete her doctoral studies, where she applied OMICS methodologies including Next-Generation DNA and RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry to study human neutrophils. Marion has extensive experience (>15 years) and expertise in the use of flow cytometry for immunology, obtained during her Honours thesis research in the lab of Prof. Ian Frazer (inventor of the cervical cancer vaccine), and during her PhD and post-doctoral studies, as evidenced by multiple high impact research article publications (Marion authored 18 highly cited peer-reviewed research articles, h-index: 11). 

Marion is an active member of the Mexican Society of Immunology, the Mexican Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineering and the American Association of Blood Banks. Through these associations, TEC's School of Engineering postgraduate society (Rho Factor) and the academic group SACBE STEM, which supports and promotes the involvement of women in science, Marion regularly participates in mentoring activities and public interventions to democratize access to cutting-edge knowledge and contribute to shaping a healthier and better-informed future generation.

"Marketing changes every day; it has renovated: it has stopped being operational with the traditional 4 P's (Price, Product, Promotion, and Place)¿ to become more strategic."

Since value propositions from cutting-edge companies tend to have a different market approach, that is, to a strategic understanding of innovation, Mariana Alfaro Cendejas decided to specialize in marketing management. This has allowed her to better understand the nature of service and how it unfolds, demystifying the triviality around it. Globally, 70% of the GDP is generated by services. 

She enjoys being able to listen to the needs, desires, and dissatisfactions of the market so that she can design and operate a value chain that generates products and services that react to what people and companies require. She is passionate about discovering insights and turning them into actions that bring companies closer to their clients. 

Among Alfaro Cendejas's areas of interest, is customer service from the Marketing 4.0 approach; that is, from the processes and data analytics for better decision-making, as well as the advances in artificial intelligence, the overabundance of data (Big Data), additive manufacturing (3D and 4D printing) and virtual and augmented reality. She also concentrates on market intelligence, which allows her to improve return on investment, and on commercial intelligence, understood as the knowledge management a company applies in order to exceed its goals. 

Finally, she studies Industry 4.0 because this allows her to fulfill the premises of the new century: to design a product or service that suits each person flawlessly.
