Breading that absorbs less fat
In 2015, we worked with FRUTIBSE in the food processing area to generate breading with reduced fat absorption.
Meat substitute with high nutritional value
Dr. María Guadalupe Moreno collaborated with company Transferencia de Conocimiento to crate a meat analogue with high nutritional value.
This project was registered in the Incentive Program to Innovation in 2016.
Valve homograft implant for cardiovascular diseases
Dr. María Guadalupe Moreno Treviño developed a valve homograft implant for cardiovascular diseases. This project was registered by CONACYT in 2016.
Along with this project, UDEM’s Bank of Cells, Tissues, and Organs was also set up. It contributes to strengthening national infrastructure for the preservation of cardiovascular tissues.
An efficient method to detect polymorphism
Researchers Rafael B. León Cachón, María Guadalupe Moreno Treviño, and Denis Aideé Martínez Treviño developed a method to detect GSTM3 A/B polymorphism in Human DNA samples in 2017. Polymorphism is related to the metabolism of drugs and carcinogens; therefore, it is associated with cancer.
Currently, polymorphism detection is carried out mostly through PCR-nucleotide sequencing and RFLPs. However, this requires long processes that can be costly. This innovation consists of designing TaqMan probes specific to the genetic variants and using another method called PCR in real time.
App to diagnose cancer in real time
Universidad de Monterrey graduates Alejandro López, Andrés Garzafox, and Sergio Hurtado, developed Dermapp, a cellphone app that assesses, analyzes, and determines the risk of suffering from skin cancer.
If the app yields a disturbing result, the user can be referred to a specialist to decide on the course of action to be undertaken.
Pressure controller for sleep disorder
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during breathing. It is one of the most serious sleep disorders.
A positive pressure controller in the airway was created to treat it.
Directional Scanner for Wheelchairs
The experience of moving independently has become possible for people with cerebral palsy, thanks to a prototype Directional Scanner for Wheelchairs developed by two VICSA students.
The device, created at a lower cost than existing products in the market, is already being used by a patient at Instituto Nuevo Amanecer and has given him greater freedom to move.

Studying Dentistry at UDEM was an excellent life decision. They taught me how to be a well-rounded professional, from the academic side to the human service area.
Now, as I work and pursue my master’s degree in Orthodontics, I realize that I received an excellent education at UDEM and that it has helped me to take advantage of opportunities and learn more each day in order to provide my patients with the best care and service.

For me, studying at UDEM became a life experience.
As an out-of-towner transferring from a public system to a private one, I was very uncertain about whether I would be able to adapt, but UDEM’s humanistic system is felt and experienced in everything: the interaction with the faculty, the integration activities with your peers, the possibility to continue fostering your values and receiving spiritual guidance right on campus.

Pursuing my MCD degree at UDEM was the best decision I could have made. It is a program that demands a lot of dedication and commitment from the student while, at the same time, it is very enriching.
I have been fortunate to continue my dentistry studies in the area of Orthodontics abroad. I completed a year-long fellowship at the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health ATSU. Subsequently, I did a mini-residency at the University of Alabama UAB and now I am about to start my master’s and specialty at the University of Rochester, New York.
