About
mi-BiomarK is a low-cost, nanomedicine-based diagnostic kit that detects miRNA biomarkers linked to breast cancer from a small blood sample. It eliminates the need for complex equipment by using specially designed probes that trigger a visible colour change when cancer-related miRNAs are present. This non-invasive, affordable approach enables earlier diagnosis, especially in resource-limited settings. By overcoming the limitations of mammography, mi-BiomarK will transform breast cancer screening and improve survival rates through timely detection

Gustavo Medina
Born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, I spent my early childhood there before moving to Zacatecas, Coahuila, and later Colima. In Colima, I attended a bilingual high school and earned a bachelor’s degree in International Business, also in a bilingual program. I hold a C1 English certification and HSK1 in Chinese Mandarin, reflecting my strong communication and cross-cultural skills. Currently, I work at a mining contractor company in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, where I continue to expand my professional experience. My diverse upbringing and international education have shaped my interest in global business, trade, and intercultural collaboration.
