Antunes<strong> highlighted the importance of establishing clear objectives<\/strong> before starting: &#8220;Once established, each person visualizes how to get there from their area of expertise,&#8221; she advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus of her work consists of <strong>searching for &#8220;functional ingredients&#8221;<\/strong> for the food industry that not only taste good but also have health benefits. The work goes through various stages, from characterizing the compounds, designing industrially viable extraction processes, to formulating new foods and validating them in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We have to think about how to design foods that are feasible, that people can access, and that can really be available in the market,&#8221; said Antunes. This requires investment from various experts outside the researcher&#8217;s environment, including marketing, design, and other industries necessary for products to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/MISSAEL-SEBASTIAN-GARRILLA.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/MISSAEL-SEBASTIAN-GARRILLA.jpg\" alt=\"MISSAEL SEBASTIAN GARRILLA\" class=\"wp-image-168265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/MISSAEL-SEBASTIAN-GARRILLA.jpg 750w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/MISSAEL-SEBASTIAN-GARRILLA-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Misael Sebasti\u00e1n Gradilla, from the Head of Department of Sustainable Technologies and Civil Engineering, emphasized the importance of flexibility when communicating ideas to policymakers.

The project, which began in 2020, focuses on autonomous vehicles that travel a four-kilometer circuit around Monterrey Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uniting the work of three laboratories, Lozoya hopes that <a href=\"\/en\/tech\/smart-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Campus City<\/a> will bring about a cultural change in the way we transport ourselves. &#8220;We don&#8217;t need more vehicles, we don&#8217;t need more streets. <strong>We need to provide more mobility services<\/strong> with less infrastructure,&#8221; said Lozoya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These projects represent the type of initiatives that Tec <strong>seeks to promote toward 2030 through research<\/strong>, innovation, and entrepreneurship. As the panelists expressed, real impact happens when bridges are built between disciplines and when solutions developed at the university respond to real societal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Science should not be envious,&#8221;<\/strong> said Lozoya in conclusion. &#8220;We can all contribute our grain of sand so that solutions reach the people who need them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em><strong>Did you find this story interesting?
