Profile

Professor Angélica Román Guerrero holds a Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus. She also received the University Merit Medal awarded by the UAM to the best averages of the generation. Dr. Román Guerrero also has a degree in Chemical Engineering, postgraduate studies at the level of Specialization in Biotechnology, and a Master's degree in Biotechnology from the same university. She is currently assigned to the Biotechnology Department of the Biological and Health Sciences Division, in the Food area.

Professor Román Guerrero belongs to the National System of Researchers since 2013, she is currently recognized at Level I. She has been recognized as a Desirable Profile (PRODEP) since 2013. She participates as an associate editor in the Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Química since 2019. She has more than 30 publications in international indexed journals and has participated as a reviewer in more than 20 international journals.

During her work as Research Professor she has participated as technical responsible in Basic Science projects (SEP-CONACyT Fund), as responsible researcher in Mexico in international cooperation projects: Mexico-Argentina (Fondo Argentino de Cooperación Sur-Sur y Triangular - AMEXCID) with the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Industrial (INTI) in Buenos Aires; as well as multinational collaboration in project Reto Bio I+D+i (INNÓVATE PERU) with participation of Universidad de Lima (Peru), INTI (Argentina), Instituto de la Grasa (Spain), and UAM Iztapalapa Campus. In 2019 she was awarded the National Award for Food Science and Technology, in the Professional Category.

Thus, her thesis and subsequent research, have been related to the obtaining of bioactive compounds by conventional techniques and emerging technologies such as Ultrasound, Microwaves and Supercritical Fluids; and with the protection of compounds susceptible to degradation through the elaboration of emulsions, nanoemulsions and microencapsulation systems, and the physicochemical characterization of molecules with surface activity for use as emulsifying and/or stabilizing agents and their application in food systems. As a researcher she has addressed the study of biopolymeric materials, and develops research lines among which stands out the obtaining and protection of bioactive compounds obtained from various plant materials; in this area she has published several articles in international indexed journals.

She has experience in teaching at undergraduate level, both in the classroom and on educational platforms. She also teaches postgraduate courses in the Master's degree in Energy and Environment, the Master's degree in Biotechnology, and the Ph.D. in Biotechnology, as well as directing several research projects.
