High marks for our Master and undergraduate students!
Congratulations to our students for high marks in their research projects!
It has been very nice to have you in the group and we wish you a lot of success in your future careers!
WELCOME ARIANA AND NEREA!
As the new academic course is starting, we have two new students in the N&N Group. We present you Ariana and Nerea:
Farewell to Carlos
Last week we said goodbye to Carlos Moya, who has worked as a postdoc during one year at the N&N group. To farewell him, we organized a dinner in Barcelona! We wish all the best to Carlos, he will continue with his research career at his former group, in the University of Barcelona. See you soon Carlos!
Welcome to the N&N group!
We are pleased to announce the incorporation to the N&N group of four new members: two PhD students and two master students. Let’s know a little bit more about them!
Do you want to do you PhD at the N&N group?
The call for the PhD grants form the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities “FORMACIÓN DE PROFESORADO UNIVERSITARIO (FPU) 2018” is now open. If you are a highly motivated student with a strong background in chemistry/physics do not hesitate to contact us (alaromaine@icmab.es)! The N&N group is offering a PhD project on the topic “Engineering Bacterial Cellulose Composites” aiming at developing new materials based on bacterial nanocellulose. Join us if you want to take part in this innovative project within an interdisciplinary and dynamic research group!
High marks for our M.S. students!
Congratulations to our master students for their good marks and defences of their research projects! It has been a pleasure to have you in the group and we wish you both a lot of success in your future career!
María Jesús Sánchez Guisado

Date of defense: 09/07/2018
Mark: 9/10
It has been a excellent experience here at ICMAB with N&N group. I have enjoyed working with all of you. Also I have gained a valuable experience!
Oriol Torrecilla Matencio
M.S. Student in in Applied Materials Chemistry, University of Barcelona.
Title: Actuable Bacterial Cellulose Nanocomposites
Supervisors: Dr. A. Laromaine and S. Roig
Date of Defense: 04/07/2018
Mark: 7.9/10
“It has been a wonderful process of development, not just as a scientist but also as a person. I have got skills that for sure will help me throughout my career. Thanks N&N team!”
Farewell to María Jesús!
The academic year is over and we have to say goodbye to the master student María Jesús. As it is a tradition for the N&N group, María Jesús got a small present and a card from her lab-mates. We wish María Jesús a lot of success on her future career and persona projects!
Welcome Gerrit!
This spring we have a new member in the N&N group: Gerrit, from Germany!
Hi, my name is Gerrit and I’m a master’s student of toxicology from Düsseldorf, Germany. In 2016, I got my bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry in Cologne. Now, I am glad to enter the Group of Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites for an internship of six months under the supervision of Dr. Anna Laromaine. My topic will be the investigation of the effects of cellulose on the nematode C. elegans and vice versa. I’m looking forward to meeting you!
Good luck with your project Gerrit and we all hope you enjoy your time at the N&N group!
Farewell to Deyaa
After two years with us, Deyaa Youssef is going back to Egypt to finish his PhD. Deyaa has worked during his time with us with bacterial cellulose nanocomposites. Today it was his last group meeting and the N&N group gave him a card and a present. Deyaa also brought a cake and a plate engraved with “Group NN“. We wish Deyaa a lot of success in his future career and in all the aspects of his life! Good luck!
Welcome Oriol!
Today we introduce the latest entry at the N&N group: the master’s student Oriol Torrecilla:
“Hi, my name is Oriol Torrecilla and I am from Barcelona, Spain. In 2015 I got my B.Sc. in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I spent half a year in Denmark doing my bachelor’s thesis at the iNANO center. After I received my degree, I worked at ICMAB on synthesis and functionalization of gold nanoparticles in the FunNanoSurf group. Right now I am studying a Master’s degree in Applied Material Chemistry at UB and I will be doing my thesis in the N&N group with Ana Larromaine and Soledad Roig. My project is about synthesis and characterization of cellulose spheres functionalized with different nanoparticles which have promising applications, especially in biomedicine.”
Welcome to the group Oriol, we hope you enjoy your time here!
