A huge number of activities were organized this year to celebrate Women in Science Day, which is the 11th of February. This year it was the fifth anniversary of the 11F initiative, and four of our group members went virtually to different schools to talk about how they became scientists and to show them important women scientist figures.
The PhD fellow Irene Anton from the NN group participated in the TechTransferStories launched by the Technology Transfer unit of ICMAB. In this 20 minute-interview, Irene explains her personal experience researching in collaboration with the private sector to find medical applications for the biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose. Do not miss it!
On 9 July, N&N PhD fellow Sumithra Srinivasan was a guest of ICMAB Live Chats on ICMAB´s Instagram account . She talked about her work at ICMAB and about organizing the upcoming conference for PhD students, JPhD2020.
If you missed the live version of the talk about how is the life of a nano-bio-researcher by Irene Anton-Sales, you can still watch it on youtube! Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
The science outreach activities of the NN group keep moving on! Next Wednesday 3rd of June at 12.00h you can spend a “virtual day” with the PhD fellow Irene Anton-Sales.
Last 25th July 2019, some of the N&N group members participated in a room escape in Barcelona as an end of season team building activity. The room scape was called EL PROYECTO DE LA BRUJA and consisted on a competition between two groups to solve 10 puzzles in less than 1 hours and 15 minutes. We all thank Amanda Muñoz who was the organizer. Both groups made it on time and we had a great time together!
During the 15-16th of July 2019, Anna Roig and Yajie Zhang travelled to Lens, France, for the follow-up meeting of the MAGBBRIS project where they participate.
10th-12th July 2019: The master students, Natalia Martínez and Amanda Muñoz attended the Biotechnology Annual Congress (BAC2019) at Madrid. They presented their research in a poster session. This congress gathers biotechnologist students and experts from different fields every July. This year, the principal talks were about metabolomics, business, nanomedicine and bio-imprinting. Looking forward for the next Biotechnology Annual Congress in Zaragoza next July!
Good job Natalia and Amanda!
Last 1st to 3rd July 2019, the PhD fellow Soledad Roig attended the 4th International Conference of Natural Fibers that took place in Porto (Portugal). There, she presented an interesting oral contribution with the title: “Multilayer bacterial cellulose with confined nanoparticle distribution” which was based on her most recent published work.
Congratulations to all the authors of the paper Insights into Preformed Human Serum Albumin Corona on Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Structure, Effect of Particle Size, Impact on MRI Efficiency, and Metabolization! This work was published online the 19th June 2019 in the journal Applied Biomaterials from the American Society of Chemistry. Do not miss it!
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.
