Itzel Suárez López, graduated by Biomedical Engineering of Tec Campus Mexico City, became the first Latin American woman in studying the Master in Physiology and Human Medicine in space and in extreme environments, thanks to the scholarship Erasmus world granted by the European Commission.
This scholarship European Commission It is granted to foreign people to be able to study some of the best universities in Europe.
Its master’s program will be developed in 3 European universities:
- Charity – University Medicine Berlin (Germany).
- Joseph Stefan International Postgraduate school (Slovenia).
- University of Caen Normandy (France).
These institutions stand out for their academic excellence, being Charity the University one University in Germany y One of the top ten in the worldaccording to an analysis carried out by US magazine Newsweek.
From the depths of the sea to space
Itzel attributes his passion for science thanks to his parents, who from his childhood transmitted the Passion for science and medicine.
From an early age, he began his career in the world of diveobtaining various certifications and reports that it has always participated in expeditions Together with their parents, who are instructors in this discipline.
In addition, the enthusiasm of his madre for issues such as geology y Biology influenced the development of his vocation.
Thanks to this invocation for science, its school average and its ability to solve challenges, allowed it to be considered for mastery.
“As an engineer I am imagining what technological tool can be created from experiments and problems.”

Extreme environments in physiology and medicine
Itzel explains that for the mastery they are asked to propose a solution to Solve obstacles to those who face individuals in unusual conditions.
In his case, one of his ideas is overcome the lack of gravity In space, which would allow humans to improve the conditions in which they would develop in that place.
“There are many Physiological challengeslike a change of fluids, because there is no serious gravity, because all the blood no longer has that strength that is pulling it ”, mentions.
In addition, he comments that Multidisciplinary Group of the mastery performs various activities to complement their learning.
“For example, as I am imagining what technological tool can be created from the experiments and problems; has been very father who We all think of different solutions”, indica.

Although today is different, Itzel confesses that throughout his life, he always had a constant fear of making a fool of. A fear that sometimes prevented him from asking questions and blocked the curiosity he had aroused in her since an early age.
However, over time he understood that That fear would not take her anywherefor what it advises:
