Autumn 2024 group activity: see the photos!
On November 22, the members of the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group gathered in a traditional Catalan masia for the autumn 2024 Group Activity.
New paper in efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts
N&N group members Xuesong Zhang, Pablo Guardia and Anna Roig published a new paper in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. It introduces a new method to create efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts using gold-platinum (AuPt) nanostructures. This research has been conducted alongside the former N&N member Miquel Torras, as well as the authors from the Catalan Institute for Energy Research (IREC) Jesús Chacón Borrero, Ren He and Andreu Cabot (the latter, also from ICREA).
The NN Group, key in two new papers
NN Group researchers Dr. Anna Roig, Dr. Deyaa Abol-Fotouh and Dr. Pablo Guardia published two new papers during the last month. Those publications have been achieved in close collaboration with different international institutions, extending the impact of the research done at the ICMAB-CSIC‘s Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group.
New paper in Polymeric Nanocarriers
N&N Group members Anna Solé and Anna Roig published a new article in Polymeric Nanocarriers. The paper is entitled Efficient Nebulization and Pulmonary Biodistribution of Polymeric Nanocarriers in an Acute Lung Injury Preclinical Model.
Anna Solé, honored with the extraordinary award for her MSc
The N&N’s PhD student Anna Solé received the Extraordinary Award for her Master’s Degree on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Barcelona. This award is given to those who obtain the highest mark in their MSc academic year.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kanlaya Katewongsa delivers a seminar to the N&N group
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kanlaya Katewongsa visited the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group from June 12 – 14. Katewongsa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Mahidol University (Thailand) and holds an adjunct role at the School of Materials Science and Innovation. She delivered a seminar on June 12 called In vitro Studies of Riboflavin Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles for Breast Cancer Delivery.
The N&N Group brings science to bars
During this last week, Amanda Muñoz-Juan and Asier Rodríguez Muguruza have participated in outreach activities in Barcelona. The N&N post-doctoral researchers brought the group’s science outside the lab thanks to the events BAR meetings and Pint of Science.
Work with us: open calls for the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) 2024 have been announced. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships “enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility.”
