Research Professor at the Institute for Obesity Research (IOR)

Molecular and Experimental Medicine Unit

The Institute for Obesity Research (https://tec.mx/en/institute-obesity-research) was established to generate cutting-edge knowledge through rigorous science and analysis, develop ideas and innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by obesity through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work, and create scientific-technological companies to improve the health and well-being of people and society.

The IOR offers an exciting opportunity for junior and senior professors to develop and lead research to prevent and treat obesity and metabolic diseases among Mexican and Latin American populations, both within Tecnologico de Monterrey and through broader national and international collaborations. The Institute comprises four units: Food & Clinical Nutrition for Health, Bioengineering in Health, Integrative and Computational Biology and Molecular and Experimental Medicine.

The Molecular and Experimental Medicine Unit (MEMU,



https://tec.mx/en/research/institute-obesity-research/molecular-and-experimental-medicine-unit) aims to generate knowledge on the molecular, cellular, and systemic mechanisms by which obesity alters organ function and contributes to the pathophysiology of diverse diseases, with the goal of advancing evidence-based, more precise strategies for their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

The MEMU comprises a multidisciplinary team of research professors investigating the molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms underlying obesity, metabolic disorders, and related diseases. Our research integrates experimental models, advanced molecular and cellular approaches, and translational studies to elucidate how metabolic dysfunction affects individual organs and drives inter-organ communication and systemic disease.

The Unit brings together expertise in cardiovascular and skeletal muscle biology, liver metabolism, mitochondrial functi
