Profile

Dr. Hugo César Ramírez Saad, a biologist graduated from the Xochimilco Campus of UAM, completed his Master's in Microbiology at the National School of Biological Sciences of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) and obtained his Ph.D. in Sciences from Wageningen University, Netherlands.

With a career spanning 41 years as a professor and researcher at UAM, Xochimilco Campus, he has made a significant impact on the academic community. Throughout his trajectory, he has supervised 50 social service projects and undergraduate theses, and has been a member of 20 tutorial committees in graduate programs.

His participation in over 60 congresses, both national and international, and his authorship of 41 scientific articles with over 1300 citations, reflect his influence in the scientific field.

Dr. Ramírez’s research focuses on characterizing microbial communities in various environments, using microbiological, biochemical, molecular, and metagenomic techniques.

One of his most significant contributions has been in studying bacterial communities associated with the roots of endangered Mexican cacti. His work has identified plant growth-promoting bacteria, which are being evaluated as bioinoculants to enhance the development of cacti and other agricultural crops. This reflects his commitment to environmental conservation and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
