PatraTec, The Bioactive Paper Company
Current pathogen detection methods require sophisticated equipment and sample preparation techniques, take hours or days to carry out and are expensive. PatraTec is commercializing inexpensive paper-based products that will provide the customer with almost instantaneous semi-quantitative results at a substantially reduced cost. Therefore, portable paper strips to rapidly detect bacteria in water will be manufactured.
Academic & Professional Background
A graduate of the industrial engineering program at Universidad De Las Americas Puebla, Mexico (UDLAP). She was The Operations Manager of a branch of Cinepolis; the largest cinematographic exhibition company in Latin America.
Mercedes, in order to continue her engineering education with a more practical approach, joined the MEEI program in 2008. Her areas of interest are biotechnologies, production plants and optimization of operating procedures.
Why MEEi?
MEEI has been a perfect program to me . I got fascinated by its structure and what encouraged me the most to get enroll in it was the opportunity to obtain a Master's Degree while you are already exposed to the real business world.
