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. In 2020 NanoTutt was 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]
