The paper “Boron clusters (ferrabisdicarbollides) shaping the future as radiosensitizers for multimodal (chemo/radio/PBFR) therapy of glioblastoma” has been selected to be part of the Most popular’ anniversary collection, to celebrate 10 years of high quality, impactful and timely research in Journal of Materials Chemistry B.
We are happy to announce that one of our group PI’s has been awarded with an ERC Proof of Concept grant! Congratulations Martí Gich!
Sole Roig did her Doctoral Thesis entitled “Novel bacterial cellulose materials: Structuration, functional nanocomposites and photocurable hydrogels” in our group between 2016 and 2021 supervised by Anna Roig and Anna Laromaine.
It is the first year that the CSIC granted this new award to CSIC Relevant Doctoral Thesis. The award recognizes doctoral thesis carried out and defended by CSIC research staff that have stood out for their quality, impact and relevance.
Good news from Athens! Our Ph.D. student Wenchao Duan has been awarded the best oral presentation at the 2nd International Conference on Aerogels for Biomedical and Environmental Applications.
Congratulations Wenchao!
We are happy to share with you that the project Novel Nanocellulose Patches to Treat Corneal Wounds (CORNEAL-BNC) founded by a Llavor grant has been selected as a finalist in the PREMIO BIOTECNOLOGÍA I+D+I 2020 from Premios Expoquimia 2020. This translational project joins forces with the Barraquer Clinic of Barcelona to develop novel solutions for the treatment of corneal wounds. Congratulations to all the researchers involved!
The N&N researchers Sole Roig and Anna Laromained are co-authors of the publication “Enzymically attaching oligosaccharide-linked ‘cargoes’ to cellulose and other commercial polysaccharides via stable covalent bonds” recently published on the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules.
Congratulations to them and their collaborators!
Amanda Muñoz, a PhD researcher in the N&N group, became a finalist of the Biorender Graphical Abstract challenge with a visualization of her work with C. elegans and nanoparticles.
N&N Group will gladly accept recipients of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellowships. The MSCA call for postdoctoral researchers is currently open and the details can be found here.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join us!
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.
Good news has been received from Programa d’Indústria del Coneixement! The project Novel Nanocellulose Patches to Treat Corneal Wounds (CORNEAL-BC) has been awarded with a 20.000€ grant.
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.
