Dr. Diana Pacheco Álvarez is a biologist with a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition. She currently serves as a professor and researcher at the School of Medicine of the University of the State of San Luis Potosí ( Universidad Panamericana), where she coordinates the Molecular Biology laboratory, teaches courses in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and serves as a member of the Research and Biosafety Committees of the Faculty of Health Sciences.

His research focuses on the study of the regulatory mechanisms of ion transporters, with an emphasis on the Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC), as well as on the role of WNK3 kinase in cellular signaling processes, cell volume control, and ionic homeostasis. These lines of research have direct implications for understanding conditions such as high blood pressure, kidney disorders, and neurological disorders, integrating approaches from molecular biology, cell physiology, and translational medicine.

Among his most notable contributions is the article “WNK3 and WNK4 exhibit opposite sensitivity with respect to cell volume and intracellular chloride concentration,” published in the *American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology* (2020). This study provides evidence regarding the differential regulation of WNK kinases in response to changes in cell volume and intracellular chloride concentration, thereby making a significant contribution to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that modulate the activity of ion transporters relevant to renal pathophysiology.

In the field of human resources training, Dr. Pacheco Alvarez has led and participated in research projects with at least 15 undergraduate medical students since 2008. She has also served as a co-advisor in graduate programs (master’s and doctoral) at CINVESTAV-IPN, actively contributing to the training of new researchers in the biomedical field.

His work is also distinguished by a strong network of collaborations, particularly with the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition, where he is a member of the Molecular Physiology Unit.

In this interdisciplinary environment, he has carried out joint projects and co-authored numerous scientific publications, thereby strengthening a well-established line of research in renal physiology and molecular biology.

Overall, his career reflects a consistent record of scientific output, with more than 21 indexed articles, more than 1,000 citations, and an h-index of 13, as well as a sustained commitment to research, teaching, and the training of professionals in the field of biomedicine.

After studying philosophy at the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne and philology and
papyrology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, David Lévystone earned his
Ph.D. in the History of Philosophy from the Sorbonne University in 2009, under the supervision of
Professor Jonathan Barnes. After completing his dissertation, he participated in the project on the
Presocratics led by Professors André Laks and Glenn Most, which resulted in new
standard editions of the Presocratic fragments (Les débuts de la philosophie, Fayard,
2016, and Early Greek Philosophy, 9 vols., Loeb, 2016).

Starting in 2010 and for six years, he served as a professor at Sungkyunkwan University
in Seoul, where he taught courses in ancient and medieval philosophy. Since 2017, he has been
a research professor at the Universidad Panamericana, where he teaches Greek and
ancient philosophy. He has been particularly involved in the organization and development of the Master’s program
in Ancient Philosophy at that institution.

He has published numerous articles in French, English, and Spanish in specialized journals
such as Phoenix, Phronesis, Mnemosyne, and Philosophie Antique (https://up-
mx.academia.edu/DavidLévystone). His research focuses primarily on
archaic and classical philosophy, with a special interest in the origins of political and
economic thought and their implications for the contemporary world. He also co-edits the
Oikonomia series, dedicated to the study of the ancient economy, published by De Gruyter.
