MikuyTec

I am a major student in the Bioengineering career at UTEC, Peru. Currently in an exchange program at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico. I enjoy getting involved in projects that have a positive impact on my community. My fields of interest involve biomaterial synthesis, tissue engineering, and synthetic biology. I have experience collaborating and working in organizations dedicated to scientific divulgation and organization of events for the benefit of students interested in bioprocesses and biotechnology.

Jeremy is a researcher and innovator, focused on developing sustainable solutions through biotechnology. During his studies as a bioengineer, he has worked to develop and optimize production of biofuel using recombinant yeast in the The National Institute for Agricultural Research located in Paris. During this project, he learned several key abilities as a researcher like good communication in a multidisciplinary team, critical analysis of research data and the organization of a research plan. He was selected as one of the Young Biotechnology Leaders in the conference ALLBIOTECH in 2021 and is looking forward to making a real impact on the world using his creativity and knowledge.

Maria Andrea is a 4th year bioengineering student at Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología in Peru. She is passionate about the application of synthetic biology and protein engineering for an ethical and sustainable food industry. She has experience designing and optimizing biological systems, having worked at Laboratory of Biological Network Characterization at EPFL, Switzerland, and experience leading and coordinating multiple biotech-oriented organizations. Currently, she is co-founder of agrotech startup MikuyTec.

Gabriel Luis Dario Loayza Pretel is an undergraduate bioengineering student at UTEC in Lima, Peru. His background is in biotechnology. His main fields of research are bioinformatics, synthetic biology and applied microbiology. He is currently involved in several projects: genomic/proteomic analysis of protein superfamilies, development of synthetic biology to solve problems in agriculture and transcriptional analysis of bacteria in microgravity.

I am a Bioengineering major, currently taking my undergraduate studies on UTEC in Lima, Peru. My interests are focused toward the application of biotechnology, systems biology and bioinformatics applied to food. I strive to enhance my skills and gain experience in these fields to create useful and impactful projects that contribute to the improvement of our communities.

I am an agricultural engineer from the National Agrarian University of La Molina in Perú. I feel passion for science, synthetic biology, and agroecology. I'm currently working at the National Institute of Agrarian Innovations, where I research about biodiversity resources and how they could be used to face the climate change and to improve the life of people . Also I have founded an organization called Enverdúrate focused in the development of social and agroecological projects.

Nadia Chamana is a senior bioengineering student at Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología in Peru. She is passionate about bioentrepreneurship and synthetic biology tools to develop sustainable resources and energy. For that reason, she met and led brilliant students interested in solving global problems to create MikuyTec. A project/startup of which she is currently Co-founder. Now, she is a synbio master intern at the Sorbone University in Paris-France and was chosen as one of the 100 Leaders of Tomorrow by the Global Biotech Revolution.

Sofia is a fifth-year Bioengineering student at the University of Engineering and Technology in Peru. She is passionate about research and development of I+D projects related to agriculture and the environment. Also, she is interested in applying biotechnology and synthetic biology in the development of biomaterials, biocontrol strategies, plant breeding, as well as for bioremediation.

My name is Darwin Paul Diaz Cancino student of Agroindustrial Engineering at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. I like the area of engineering with application in food and the optimization and transformation of them. I have specializations in industrial biotechnology, food safety and entrepreneurship. I am director and founder of Origami Group Peru, an organization of engineers with the purpose of carrying out social projects through disciplines such as engineering and basic sciences. So far we have carried out the project "Domes to educate" with which we have impacted more than 1000 people.
