Dr. Mirna González-González was trained as a Chemical Engineer and Doctor in Engineering Sciences with a major in Biotechnology. She is associate research professor at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences of Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) and principal investigator at the Bioengineering and Medical Devices Unit at the Obesity Research Institute of Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico). She teaches practical courses at the undergraduate level in the TEC21 model and participates in the graduate programs of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. She is a member of the National System of Researchers level I, the Mexican Academy of Sciences, and referee by invitation of scientific journals such as PLOS ONE, Separation and Purification Technology, Food and Bioproducts Processing, among others. Author of 38 peer-reviewed journal articles in the area, 3 book chapters, more than 70 presentations in national and international conferences, and has supervised 5 doctoral, 8 master and 3 postdoctoral positions.

Her research focuses on the development of flexible bioengineering platforms, the first one focused on cutting-edge techniques to isolate, enrich, characterize, and differentiate stem cells in vitro for therapeutic purposes using aqueous two-phase systems and the second one for the development of devices for screening, early detection, and monitoring of metabolic diseases.
