Anna Roig attends the B·Debate on Imaging for Life: from Molecules to Diagnostics and Therapy at CosmoCaixa

Anna Roig will attend the B·Debate on Imaging for Life. From Molecules to Diagnostics and Therapy, that takes place on November 8-9 at CosmoCaixa (Barcelona). 

The scientific leaders of this B·Debate are Francesc Xavier Avilés, from the Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina (IBB) – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Boris Turk, from  “Jožef Stefan” Institute (IJS) – Ljubljana University, Slovenia. 

The objective is to bring together national and international experts in the field to discuss the future perspectives and strategies for the current challenges on molecular imaging.

The B·Debate will focus on molecular, cell, tissue and small animals research, and to their biomedical applications, including non-invasive diagnostic, imaging-guided surgery, multimodal scanning and theranostics.

For sure this B·Debate will be useful for Anna and for the group, since imaging is a powerful tool to study the interaction of inorganic nanoparticles with living organisms, such as C. elegans, which is the topic of Laura González thesis, for example. 

This B·Debate is an iniciative of Biocat and l’Obra Social “la Caixa”, together with the Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina (IBB) – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Jožef Stefan” Institute (IJS) – Ljubljana University (Slovenia).
