SECOND FORUM OF BIOTECHNOLOGY IN UPIBI
Engineering Student Society Biotechnology (SEIBT) organized the Second Forum on Biotechnology in UPIBI.
The main objective is to serve as a dissemination point for activities related to research and technological development undertaken by teachers, and students UPIBI as well as the exchange of ideas among participants.

TOPICS
BIOTECHNOLOGY AMBIENTAL
Es la aplicación de los procesos biológicos modernos en respuesta a los problemas de contaminación actual, (protegiendo y restaurando la calidad del ambiente). Abarca desde la limpieza de aguas residuales, seguida por la purificación del aire y gases de desecho mediante el uso de biofiltros, pasando por la biorremediación de suelos, hasta la utilización de microorganismos para la generación de biocombustibles. De esta manera, la biotecnología puede ayudar a evaluar el estado de los ecosistemas, generar materiales biodegradables partiendo de recursos renovables, transformar contaminantes en sustancias no tóxicas y desarrollar procesos ambientalmente seguros.
FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY
Refers to the use of biotechnology for the production, preservation and / or food processing, as well as for the production of raw materials, additives or adjuvant used in the food industry. In this area we found the enzyme and fermentation processes such as wine, yogurt, cheese, bread yeast production, etc. Food biotechnology is often based on genetics to improve the nutritional properties of food and way of production, for example, plant cultivation and animal husbandry which are resistant to certain diseases and / or pests, obtaining higher yields.
PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
is the branch of biotechnology responsible for the development of therapeutic biological products such as vaccines, antibiotics or medications. These products originate from cell cultures for processing proteins, hormones, antibodies, and even genes that serve to carry out new health treatment, taking advantage of these drugs generally cause fewer side effects compared to the traditional.
BIOENGINEERING
resent is one of the disciplines that combines the principles and tools of engineering and technology to apply to the problems presented by biology and medicine. Among the most important fields that may be mentioned include: obtaining biomaterials, bioprocess modeling and simulation, biomedical engineering, biological signal processing, industrial upgrading, the design of biotechnological plants, including others.
MOLECULAR BIOTECHNOLOGY
This area focuses on solving problems through biotechnology molecular biology, based on the fundamental aspects of information and genetic manipulation of different living organisms use for the purpose of obtaining goods or services through recombinant DNA technologies.

Welcome to the SEIBT!
JUSTIFICATION
IPN Historically, in particular the UPIBI, has established itself as a vanguard institution and pioneer in teaching in Mexico Biotechnology and Bioengineering. As students wishing to become future engineers biotechnologists, we aware of the need to create links among our peers, so as to generate a harmonious working environment and promote collaboration between researchers and bioengineers in training, which is why there is interest and willingness to support the organization, dissemination and promotion of activities related to developments in the field of Biotechnology-led unit, thereby achieving an excellent academic and professional development.
MISSION
Associate and represent students in the areas of Biotechnology and Bioengineering for foster links and dissemination of scientific and technological advances.
VISION
consolidate a society that promotes the synergistic integration among students and professionals related to the field of Biotechnology Engineering, thereby achieving a national impact on the scientific and technological development .
