N&N Group welcomes three new students! Nanthilde Malandain is a PhD student and her project on bacterial cellulose will be supervised by Anna Laromaine. Darla Mare and Cristina Mira have been awarded the JAE Intro: Introduction to research fellowships for undergraduate and master students.
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!
We have a new Doctor in the group! On September 29, N&N Group member Zhongrui Luo defended his PhD thesis “In vivo interactions between food availability and nanoparticles in Caenorhabditis elegans“. Congratulations to Luo and his supervisor Anna Laromaine!
On September 15, N&N Group member Yajie Zhang defended his PhD thesis, entitled “Multimodal Imaging PLGA Nanocapsules as Protein Carrier for Potential Neurorepair in Ischemic Brain“.
Yajie’s thesis was supervised by N&N Group leader Anna Roig and Anna Rosell from Vall d’Hebron Research Institute.
Congratulations to Yajie and his supervisors!
We are glad to share some good news to start the new academic year; after a long revision process, the paper “Bacterial Nanocellulose and Titania Hybrids: Cytocompatible and Cryopreservable Cell Carriers” has been accepted for publication.
We are happy to announce that our paper “Accurate iron quantification in colloids and nanocomposites by a simple UV-Vis protocol” has been recently published in the journal Microchimica Acta.
The study has been carried out by N&N Group members Miquel Torras and Anna Roig, as well as former members Carlos Moya and Gustavo Pasquevich.
Our paper “Magnetic Properties of Synthetic Fluorophlogopite Mica Crystals” has been published in Materials Advances. Congratulations to the authors: Zheng Ma and Martí Gich!
Meet Naureen Khanam, a new PhD student in the N&N Group! Aurna, as she prefers to be called, comes from Bangladesh and is going to work with Martí in the FeMiT poject.
Face masks are still one of the key factors helping us face the current COVID-19 pandemic, and have been part of the conversation since the first responses to the virus started to appear. The other key factor is physical distancing. Jan Grzelak, a PhD student in N&N Group, has presented an Online ICMAB Seminar on the current knowledge we have on the materials used to create masks and their reusability.
You can watch the recording of the seminar here.
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.
