Mario Moisés Álvarez is the former director of the FEMSA Biotechnology Center at the Tecnológico de Monterrey in México. He is the coordinator of the Biotechnology Graduate Program in this same institution, and one of the youngest scientists in México ranked as a Level 2 Researcher by the Mexican System of Researchers (SNI). Dr. Álvarez has a Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, a Masters in Science in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers University, and a Masters in Science in Process Engineering and a Bachelor Degree in Biochemistry from the Tecnológico de Monterrey. He did a Postdoctoral stay at Bristol Myers Squibb, at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, where he collaborated in different projects related to the design and scale-up of Pharmaceutical Processes, particularly reactive and crystallization processes.

      Bacterial reporters or whole-cell bacterial sensors have always been an area of application for genetic manipulation and synthetic biology. As a matter of fact, constructing a bioreporter bacteria that has the ability to detect toxic chemicals is considered one of the first accomplishments in the discipline of synthetic biology <a href="#van">(van der Meer and Belkin, 2010)</a>. There are several advantages to using a bacterial bioreporter instead of a traditional physical or chemical sensors, for example, bacteria can offer the same specificity and sensitivity that traditional sensors offer, but they are much more portable and grow in inexpensive media. Furthermore, bacterial reporters also offer advantages over using other types of biosensors like enzymes and antibodies because they are living organisms and they are capable of analyzing samples through a process that involves many enzymes <a href="#yagi">(Yagi, 2007)</a>
+
Dr. Álvarez's main area of scientific expertise is laminar mixing (mixing operations at low speed or in high viscosity conditions). Currently, his group is working in the application of mixing knowledge on the design of bioreactors. This includes the design of novel high performance bioreactor systems for animal cell culture, the diagnose of mixing performance in bioreactors through reactive methods, and the study of non-ideal mixing conditions in bioreactive systems.

      The first bacterial reporters appeared 20 years ago <a href="van">(van der Meer and Belkin, 2010)</a> although these early tests didn’t use genetically modified microorganisms. Further research and development in the areas of genetic engineering and synthetic biology have resulted in many more applications such as detection of contaminants <a href="#willardson">(Willardson, et. Al., 1998)</a> and sugar and amino acid availability in soils <a href="#jaeger">(Jaeger, et. Al., 1999)</a>. Even though the reporters have gotten more sophisticated and sensitive, we realized that there isn’t much mention of a single bacterial bioreporter capable of detecting different concentrations of a substance and reacting differently depending on the concentration.  
+

</p><br><p class="blah">
+
-
      We thought the use of synthetic biology as well as the BioBrick standard could help create a “genetic circuit” <a href="#van">(van der Meer and Belkin, 2010)</a> capable of detecting different concentrations of a substance and reacting in a different manner depending on the amount detected. In our initial research we realized that the iGEM British Columbia 2009 team decided to do something similar, so we used parts of their project as a base and integrated parts of other previous iGEM projects in order to propose a new genetic construction capable of detecting different amounts of a certain substance. We call these new types of sensors, “intelligent biosensors”, because they have the ability to react in different ways depending on their surroundings.
+
-
</p><br><p class="blah">
+
-
      With our project we hope to continue with the previous efforts of other iGEM teams, and at the same time propose a new type of genetic circuit for achieving these functions. In the process we plan to develop BioBricks for two new families of phage activators as well as different BioBrick constructons that can make our system easy to adapt, so that the creation of these “intelligent biosensors” becomes just a matter of choosing the substance of interest and choosing the different reporters.

Tec de Monterrey






























Dr. Mario Moisés Álvarez

Dr. Mario Álvarez Mario Moisés Álvarez is the former director of the FEMSA Biotechnology Center at the Tecnológico de Monterrey in México. He is the coordinator of the Biotechnology Graduate Program in this same institution, and one of the youngest scientists in México ranked as a Level 2 Researcher by the Mexican System of Researchers (SNI). Dr. Álvarez has a Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, a Masters in Science in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers University, and a Masters in Science in Process Engineering and a Bachelor Degree in Biochemistry from the Tecnológico de Monterrey. He did a Postdoctoral stay at Bristol Myers Squibb, at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, where he collaborated in different projects related to the design and scale-up of Pharmaceutical Processes, particularly reactive and crystallization processes.

Dr. Álvarez's main area of scientific expertise is laminar mixing (mixing operations at low speed or in high viscosity conditions). Currently, his group is working in the application of mixing knowledge on the design of bioreactors. This includes the design of novel high performance bioreactor systems for animal cell culture, the diagnose of mixing performance in bioreactors through reactive methods, and the study of non-ideal mixing conditions in bioreactive systems.
