Biography
Cristóbal Noé Aguilar, PhD, is Dean of the School of Chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, México. Dr. Aguilar has published more than 160 papers in indexed journals, more than 40 articles in Mexican journals, and 250 contributions in scientific meetings. He has also published many book chapters, several Mexican books, four editions of international books, and more. Prof. Aguilar is a member level III of S.N.I. (National System of Researchers of Mexico). He has been awarded several prizes and awards; the most important are the National Prize of Research 2010 from the Mexican Academy of Sciences; the Prize "Carlos Casas Campillo 2008" from the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioenegineering; the National Prize AgroBio–2005; and the Mexican Prize in Food Science and Technology.
Dr. Aguilar is a member of the Mexican Academy of Science, the International Bioprocessing Association, the Mexican Academy of Sciences, the Mexican Society for Biotechology and Bioengineering, and the Mexican Association for Food Science & Biotechnology. He has developed more than 21 research projects, including six international exchange projects. He has been advisor for PhD, MSc, and BSc theses.
Dr. Aguilar earned his chemist designation from the School of Chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, México. He attended the MSc Program in Food Science and Biotechnology that was held at the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua, México. His PhD in Fermentation Biotechnology was awarded by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Mexico.
Elizabeth Carvajal-Millan, PhD, is a Research Scientist at the Research Center for Food and Development (CIAD) in Hermosillo, Mexico, since 2005. She obtained her PhD in France at Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique à Montpellier (ENSAM), her MSc degree at CIAD, and undergraduate degree at the University of Sonora in Mexico. Her research interests are focused on biopolymers, mainly in the extraction and characterization of high-value-added polysaccharides from co-products recovered from the food industry and agriculture, especially ferulated arabinoxylans. In particular, Dr. Carvajal-Millan studies covalent arabinoxylans gels as functional systems for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Globally, Dr. Carvajal-Millan is a pioneer in in vitro and in vivo studies on covalent arabinoxylans gels as carriers for oral insulin focused on the treatment of diabetes type 1. She has published 57 refereed papers, 23 chapters in books, over 80 conference presentations, and one patent registered, with two more submitted.
