you knew that your enemies are my
enemies
my life purpose is to fight your
enemies and I’m not an agent of the
police for nothing I ‘m referring to
these micro enemies that we all have
that are invisible to those that we can
call differently how said
germs bacteria viruses despite
our big size
we humans are very vulnerable
throughout these years of my life I
I have dedicated to follow these germs
they are all capable of infecting
we all have someone we know who
have been infected by any of these
badly small germs had
a super microscope with which
I literally wanted to see everything I wanted
see what was on a tree leaf in
a fly in a drop of water
I literally wanted to give everything but
above all I wanted to understand and know
the substances that manage and control
the alive beings to the 12 years I had a
problem in the right leg with many
surgeries and complications
there I knew perfectly well what I
I wanted to devote to science
right there began my dream to the step of
the years and some jobs in 1999
together with my brother sergio we founded
gray they produced me the gels
antibacterials like those that you
they know until my son Bernardo de
two years he got seriously ill from
rotavirus
it was a complicated moment I saw how
his small body struggled
battle against such a dangerous virus
as you know for viruses there is no
antibiotics
I could only take care to hydrate it
lower the temperature but no more
it was a professional and personal shock to
me a partaguas as producing
antibacterial could not care for me
own family
at this time the microorganisms
transformed in my life so
definitive and I realized that no
We could keep fighting against them
with great antibacterial molecules
size
we should use a molecule of its own
size or even smaller move us
towards a scale where we had
better advantages and this is the scale
elder brother
on this nano scale things are a
million times smaller than a
millimeter calculate with your fingers a
millimeter
now try to divide that millimeter a
a million times
of that size are the microorganisms
that attack us
that’s why nothing could fight so
so effective because they are immensely
small and this nano scale is also
the world of atoms and molecules
a world where the laws of physics or
chemistry apply totally different and
applying nanotechnology we develop
a molecule capable of infiltrating the
enemy
a Trojan molecule that breaks its
100% genetic material of form
effective and safe without side effects
and without polluting the planet is
winning molecule to be exact is
able to fight the bacteria virus
fungi spores and mycobacteria and we are
he mentioned all because they are all very very
different
we did develop this molecule
Why yesterday
is everywhere they are in the house in
the office in the cinema in the museums in
hospitals and is in a simple drop of
water but mostly because these
germs have a mechanism of
worthy of admiration even return
worthy of envy
while humans
we need hundreds or thousands of years
to evolve or use a bacterium
can evolve in minutes creating
defense mechanisms or mutations that
make them able to adapt to the environment
where they live but above all they make us
able to adapt to substances
what are these mutations
make them fast make us powerful
make them capable of infecting large
speeds creating pandemics by creating
even the possible destruction of the
humanity and these enemies of the
humanity
They travel by car by metro by bus in
plane but we are a means of
Preferred transport travel so fast
that can arrive from a continent to
another in a matter of hours threatening the
life of cities or even the
continent like ebola that of africa
could reach Europe and the United States
within hours
who lived the influence of 2009
this pandemic will remember that
the angels recommended
antibacterials and I have questioned
a lot because using antibacterial gels
if the flu is a virus or a
bacteria realize how delicate
that can be they realize the
difference between a bug and other
according to the world organization of the
Health
We are in a new era of
germs today the common germs will
have become super resistant to
antibiotics and disinfectants
woman not in common
today it can be deadly disease that
they seemed controlled or eradicated
today they can kill us the same
world health organization has
published a list of eight bacteria in
which in just three days we can
die and I keep questioning too
how is it possible that knowing this today
in homes and hospitals
let’s continue using a molecule of
200 years to fight these germs
as well as the worst since 1969 there was no
a new antimicrobial molecule in the
world and today is already prohibited in
united by the sda that is the
regulatory agency reiterated since 1969
there was not a new molecule in the
world so far with this innovation and
I the truth is that I wonder and I
I question so many things that we have lived
the warning of a pandemic is a risk
immediate global and as all risk
it has a cost to my team they cost 70
thousand pesos each patient infected
mexico spends 35 billion pesos
a year to fight infections
intrahospital and mexico with 35 thousand
millions of pesos per year
that is the impact of this innovation and
high impact of global impact is a
patented innovation in more than 140
countries
it’s a historic achievement for the
Mexicans because never a patent
Mexican had had this reach and
these undertake and undertakes to me has
taken to exciting places but
he has also exposed my doubts my
fears
many many times I questioned whether the
sacrifice moments with my family
If day- to-day problems
if learning intellectual property
the costs the production has been worth the
pain
but especially at some point I
question if I believed in myself
when I saw that we had in our
hands a molecule so powerful for
humanity
I realized that it was time to do
that others also arrive in
me and they already know many told me that no
we were going to make it impossible
how were we going to have such an impact on the
world but he does it in my brother and in
Our team was superior
these pickets to pride made me
give more of me to not give me for
expired and move on
we have faced many many stones
on this road but there are two main
problems first is corruption
the truth is that it ‘s like an infection
It is like the plague this afternoon corner ar
so that in the lowest temptations and
we have not fallen we have resisted
because our ethics and our way of
thinking goes much further than all this
Mexico
that other kind of acting and
unfortunately this molecule only
it’s for small germs not for
the two- legged sayings
it’s amazing that Mexicans do not
we believe in Mexicans do not believe and they
rife
many believe that this I do not know what the
women, we do not have to keep fighting
we do not have to keep fighting day to
day and opening gap
Many believe that it is a fashion and a
political flag but it’s not like that
if this happens in the most countries
developed
obviously also happens here day
a day
we Mexicans do not have to win the
space and respect
I had to do it facing me
even to wells and questions about
be a wife, an enterprising engineering wife
athlete but it is not simple but not
I have a glass ceiling because I dream and
He fought big and all this can
be overshadowed when someone gives you the
thank you thank a small
was bitten by a dog and he did not
infected it made me realize that everything
effort is worth all the effort
it’s worth it and you save a single life
today you have the power in your hands
to take care of his life
we are vulnerable learn to fight
the enemies
I will leave at the end of my trip
convinced to have given everything to
fight against these enemies against
these infectious microorganisms that
today they threaten you to me to their
families to my family and to all the
humanity
thank you very much
[Applause]
