Dr. Fabiola Gutiérrez Mejía earned her bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics, specializing in Physics, at the Higher School of Physics and Mathematics of the National Polytechnic Institute. She subsequently completed a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and Physics at CINVESTAV (Monterrey Unit), where she studied the magnetic properties of biofluids. She completed a PhD in Applied Physics at the Eindhoven, University of Technology, the Netherlands, in the Molecular Sensors for Clinical Diagnosis group. During her doctorate, she studied the mechanical properties of proteins. She subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, where she researched, among other topics, the adhesion properties of peptides to surfaces. She is currently conducting a postdoctoral fellowship at the CICY (Cycling and Molecular Biology Center) in Yucatán, México in the Polymeric Materials Unit, working with Dr. Juan Valero Cauich Rodríguez in biomedical coatings.
