Laura González, a former member of the N&N Group, has been awarded the PhD Extraordinary Award by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, for her doctoral thesis that was developed during the period 2016-2017. Laura’s thesis, “Evaluating inorganic nanoparticles in the living organism Caenorhabditis elegans”, was supervised by Anna Roig and Anna Laromaine.
Members on N&N Group have published yet another article in recent days. The paper “Magnetic properties of Cr-substituted ε-(Fe1-xCrx)2O3 nanoparticles with epsilon structure” authored by Ma Zheng and Martí Gich was published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
New paper “PLGA protein nanocarriers with tailor-made fluorescence/MRI/PET imaging modalities” authored by Yajie Zhang and Anna Roig was published today in Nanoscale. Irene co-authored the article.
New article “From Silver Plates to Spherical Nanoparticles: Snapshots of Microwave-Assisted Polyol Synthesis” authored by Miquel Torras and Anna Roig has been published in ACS Omega. The article is available here.
The CSIC launched the JAE Intro 2020: Introduction to research fellowships for University students. The objective of this program is to introduce students to research activity in diverse scientific areas and to enable them to be in contact with CSIC research centres. Three projects are offered by N&N Group. The call is open from 9 March to 9 April 2020.
Wenchao and Anna Roig attended the conference “Aerogels for Biomedical and Environmental Applications” that took place in Santiago de Compostela on 18-20 February. Anna gave a talk on bacterial nanocellulose as a cell culture platform and Wenchao presented a talk and a poster about his work.
Wenchao was awarded the Best Collaborative Poster Contribution award and the Best Oral Presentation in Early Career Investigator Forum award. Congratulations!
From the 12th until the 15th of February Nerea Murugarren attended the NanoGUNE Winter School 2020 in CIC NanoGUNE San Sebastian. The course included Scientific Sessions and Hands-On Lab Practices. As a student, it was a really fruitful experience for her.
A paper authored by Martí Gich, “Unconventional Ferroelectric Switching via Local Domain Wall Motion in Multiferroic ε‐Fe2O3 Films“, was recently published in open access in Advanced Electronic Materials. It is a result of a collaboration between scientists from ICMAB, Aalto University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. It has received funding from the ERC.
Congratulations Martí!
This month the N&N Group acquired three new students – and each of them will work on a different research line. Say hello to Thomas, Andrea and Marc!
The N&N group participates in the @NextGEM_eu project, for which we prepared this video explaining how we work with c.elegans. 🪱
👉 Dr. @PolAlonso1 explains how we use these nematodes and why they are useful for assessing biological effects.
