As part of the celebrations for its 90th anniversary, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) held “The Experience By UAG”, an immersive academic and leadership event designed to strengthen the formation of future world-class innovative leaders.

On November 5, students from the International Program of the UAG School of Medicine proudly presented their academic projects, the result of a collaborative effort led by Dr. Efrén Aguilar Garnica, Director of Research & Technology Development at UAG, and Dr. Lucía Elizabeth Álvarez Palazuelos, Director of Research Discipline for the International Program.

Each student team was assigned a dedicated faculty mentor who guided them throughout the development of their project until the final deliverable presented at the event. The faculty mentors who made these presentations possible were:
All mentors are faculty members of the UAG School of Medicine International Program.

This initiative served as an academic platform allowing students to showcase their creativity, critical thinking, and ability to translate complex biomedical concepts into a meaningful contribution.

Additionally, the event featured a special participation from Ryan-Ibrahim Yahya Elshimali, a second-semester Block 8 student, who delivered a TED-style talk. He shared his expertise on how antibodies are constructed and highlighted their essential role in clinical medicine, inspiring fellow students to deepen their interest in biomedical innovation.

The UAG celebrates the effort, talent, and dedication of its international students and faculty who continue to embody the institution’s commitment to excellence and global medical education.
