Biotechnology and nanotechnology are two lines in which we are interested in stimulating research. The prize (CINVESTAV’s prize for innovation in bionanotechnology) was linked to pharmacology but it is now more open as it has enabled the creation of new materials. The invitation to participate is open to all the institutions and professionals working on those themes and the prize is MX$300,000 (US$16,666). Half of the award is to reward the researcher and the other half is to fund the continuity of the winning project. The purpose of the prize is to create new talent, provide exposure and increase the diffusion of these kinds of scientific proposals. We are approaching 2016’s winning researcher to ask for his help capsulating some drugs we want to deliver to the limbic part of the brain.
