Tessy María López Goerne (born October 22, 1961) is a Mexican solid-state chemist, professor, researcher, academic, and popular science communicator. She has specialized in the fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, as well as being a pioneer in catalytic nanomedicine. She directs the Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine Laboratories[1] at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Xochimilco (UAM-X) plant and the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery [es].[2][3]

Early life and education[edit]

López Goerne was born in Guanajuato City Mexico October 22, 1961. She graduated from the University of Guanajuato at the age of 17 where her father was a scientist. She obtained a Masters in Solid State physics and a PhD in Material Science from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana.[4][1]

In 2005 she founded the research Lab in Nanotechnology & Medicine at the Autonomous Metropolitan University in Guanajuato Mexico. Her research focused on using nanoparticles to treat Epilepsy and Parkinson's.[4]

Research and academics[edit]

López Goerne has worked as a researcher in the fields of molecular photodynamics, photocatalysts and bionanomaterials, soft materials and nanostructured reservoirs for controlled release of drugs. She was a research professor at Tulane University.[5]

Nanogel products[edit]

López Goerne's company NanoTutt S.A. de C.V. markets nanogel products as a treatment for diabetes. NanoTutt has been accused of marketing products without the approval of the Mexican Government, as well as engaging in tax evasion on the sale of its products.[6][7]

Awards and distinctions[edit]
