ILAN University Innovation Awards: Anahuac



Thank You to Anahuac University for Hosting the ILAN University Innovation Awards


We extend our deepest gratitude to Anahuac University for graciously hosting the ILAN University Innovation Awards on November 16, 2023. The ceremony was truly memorable, featuring esteemed guests including Engineer Carlos Peralta, Congresswoman Laura Barrera, Father Cipriano, ILAN’s founder and president Isaac Assa, and ILAN’s CEO Rina Gitler.


We were privileged to hear motivating remarks from Congresswoman Laura Barrera, which inspired the university students, and Engineer Carlos Peralta offered insightful feedback to the awarded projects.


We are thrilled to announce the winners of this year’s awards:


  • Retinopatía Diabética

    This project involves the development of a Machine Learning (ML) system for detecting Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) from fundus photographs. The system aims to enable timely assessments for individuals at risk, aiding in the prevention and management of blindness caused by DR.


  • Bioactive Scaffolds for Regenerative Medicine

    This project focuses on the design, manufacturing, characterization, and biological evaluation of 3D-printed bioactive scaffolds with hydroxyapatite. These scaffolds use biocompatible and biodegradable materials, making them ideal for reducing osteoporosis cases and complications associated with fractures.


  • OLO-T

    Aims to revolutionize fashion products with sustainable buttons made from corn waste. Sourced from marginalized communities in Mexico, this innovation not only supports these communities but also reduces water consumption by 99% in the manufacturing process.


Congratulations to the awardees, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the achievements of these outstanding projects and the support of their families and friends.
