Torres Bustillos Index 323 FOREWORD We are living in a period where the time required to pass from discoveries and inventions to their applications are becoming increasingly shorter. While it took more than 60 years after the first laboratory trials in 1933 to market the first hybrid corn, only 5 years were necessary since the first reports of transgenic insulin to its commercial production. In other fields, such as the environment, bioremediation techniques which were unknown 40 years, have rapidly integrated to the physicochemical methods to solve persistent problems in the biosphere of previously unknown molecules. In a world of declining fossil energy, biotechnology explores a multiple products and processes hidden in the rich genome of microbes, plants and animals. One of the reasons for the renewed spirit of biotechnology is supported by its capacity to swiftly incorporate the multidisciplinary advances in basic and applied sciences. This volume presents the wide range of biotechnology research by the UPIBI community, teachers and students in the past 24 years. Novel methodologies, basic results and new processes are reported in several of the most dynamic fields in biotechnology such as health, energy, food and environment. This effort will certainly be an inspiration for students wishing to join research teams, for academic colleagues in search of new knowledge and for professionals exploring of novel ideas or innovative solutions.
