INTRODUCTION

​

As biomedical researchers we recognize that financial resources in the area of Health are limited everywhere in the world, which is why it is necessary to optimize the efforts towards knowledge development in this area.

 

The conception of this event originates from the need of gathering the Mexican biomedical diaspora; as first attempt in Europe, with the vision of establishing a global network of Mexican biomedical professionals to promote collaboration among us, to focus efforts to have a positive influence and impact in our country. 

 

Dr. Pina and Dr. Cabrera consolidated the idea of gathering the Mexican biomedical researchers through coordinated efforts of the Red Global (Global Network of Mexicans Abroad), which is the diaspora hosting this event. For this initiative we were fortunate to have the full support of the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, the Mexican Embassy in Germany and Innovation –Match. For all this support and circumstances it was possible this first Symposium, of many more to come, “Mexico in the Biomedical Research”

 

We acknowledged also the relevance and presence of other institutions such as the Mexican Ministry of Health, represented here by Dr. Guillermo Ruiz-Palacios. The Berlin Institute of Health, with her director Prof. Dr. Duska Dragun. The Mexican National Council of Science and Technology, CONACYT, with Dr. Christian Gonzalez-Laporte and the representative of the University of the State of México, UAEMEX, M.A. María Elena Camacho-Mohr. We also count with members of the biomedical section of “Dreamers without borders” from USA. And of course all of the Keynote speakers, students and assistants to this event.

 

 

Among our goals as organized diaspora in the Red Global (Global Network, which counts to full support from the Foreign Ministry of Mexico), is to promote that the high skilled professional contributes to strengthening the development and technological innovation of our country; also to guide the creation of projects impacting business and economic development, education for global innovation and the support of other Mexican communities abroad.
