New NNgroup picture!
Every year, the N&N group takes its group picture, this is the one for 2018!
Anna Roig was at the 12th Magnetic Carrier Meeting in Copenhagen
From May 22nd to 26th 2018, Anna Roig was in Copenhagen presenting results of the Magbbris project on magnetic nanoparticles for brain repair after an ictus at the 12th Int Conference of Science and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers.
ICMAB party 2018
17th May, 2018
Every spring, ICMAB celebrates its anniversary with a party for all the members of the institute. This year the N&N group members participated in many of the purposed activities: orienteering race (second place for the team of Martí, Jan and Miquel), tango lessons, custumes contest (second prize for the NN group), the concert by the ICMAB-choir (Anna Roig) and the ping-pong tournament where Martí Gich was a finalist!
We all enjoyed the diverse and original activities and thank all the organizers.
Lab cleaning, pizzas and ping-pong!
Every three months, the N&N group organizes a lab cleaning day, which is normally accompanied by a pizza lunch, but today there was a novelty: The first N&N Ping-Pong tournament! Congratulations to Anna Roig for being the winner and special thanks to Miquel and Jan for the organization tasks.
Yajie attended the 15TH EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON CONTROLLED DRUG DELIVERY
April 11th-13th 2018
Yajie Zhang, PhD student from the N&N group, attended the 15TH EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON CONTROLLED DRUG DELIVERY that took place in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands. He presented a poster entitled “Multifunctional PLGA Nanocapsules as Drug Carrier for Angiogenic Therapies”.
Anna Roig brings nanomaterials closer to secondary schools with the program “A researcher in your classroom”
The program “A researcher in your classroom” brought Anna Roig, from the N&N group, to Lliçà d’Amunt, at Institut Lliçà (Tuesday, 3 February 2018), and the ICMAB researcher Agustín Mihi to Institut Dr. Puigvert de Sant Andreu in Barcelona (Wednesday, 4 February 2018). Both audiences were secondary school students of 4t ESO.
MAGBBRIS project kicks off
The MAGBBRIS Consortium, where Yajie Zhang and Anna Roig participate, celebrated its kickoff meeting during the 26th and 27th of March 2018. The project coordinator, Anna Rosell, welcomed the participants at the Vall d’Hebron Research institute (VHIR), in Barcelona.
During the meetings the participants had the opportunity to understand better the EuroNanoMed Joint Call thanks to Janna Slabbekoorn from the Competitive Calls Unit from VHIR. Afterwards they heard a little bit about each partner’s background related to the project. the members of the consortium could also learn about the past work using endothelial progenitor cells for the treatment of stroke, nanocapsule synthesis, pre-clinical and clinical magnetic resonance imaging, different in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier, manufacturing of high volumes of proteins under GMP conditions and magnetic targeting of nanomaterials.
We wish a lot of success to the MAGBBRIS project!
Carlos and Miquel attended a TEM course
Miquel Torras and Carlos Moya attended the Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) course given by UAB Microscopy service. During this training they learned fundamentals and modes of electronic microscopy. They also focused on the preparation of both materials and life science samples. In practical seasons, they learned how to align an electronic microscope for low and high resolution imaging. In addition, they did diffraction mode and also Electronic Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).
Ma attended the Technologies for Oxide Electronics School 2018
The PhD student Ma Zheng participated in the Technologies for Oxide Electronics School 2018. This course was organized by the ICMAB and was held in Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu, Spain 15-17th March 2018. The school focused on the new opportunities for oxide-based thin films technologies in data storage and computing, energy harvesting, optical and high frequency telecommunications.
Anna Roig was an invited speaker at the International nanoComposites Conference
Thursday 15th of March 2018 Anna Roig gave an invited talk at the first edition of the International nanoComposites Conference, which is part of the largest European event in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology: ImagineNano2018. This congress was held at Bilbao (Spain) and Anna’s talk was about “Bacterial Nanocellulose: Surface Microstructuration and Composites”.
