Anna Roig will give a lecture in the new course of “Nanotechnology: lights and shadows of the control of matter at the atomic scale” organized by the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP), that will take place in Santander (Cantabria) between 11-15th July 2016. Anna’s lecture is entitled “Manufacture and integrationof nanomaterials in productsand devices”.
If you would like to attend the course, specially recommended for 3rd and 4th year students of scientific degrees (but open to everybody), or for more information about the speakers and the program, please visit the course website.
Anna gave the presentation “Implications of surface coating SPIONs with a pre-form protein corona” at the HINT Workshop“Nanostructured materials: coatings, surface, bioceramics/-composites membranes” that has taken place in Vilnius, Lithuania 14-16th March 2016. She also participated in the Management Committee Meeting of this COST Action.
NanoBio&Med 2015 to be held in Barcelona 18-20 Nov is going to present the most recent international developments in the field of Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine and will provide a platform for multidisciplinary communication, new cooperations and projects to participants from both science and industry. Emerging and future trends of the converging fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine will be discussed among industry, academia, governmental and non-governmental institutions.
Anna will talk on the bio-identity of albumin-iron oxide nanoparticles on the 19th Nov at 16:20 h.
Anna presented the work “Engineering Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Angiogenic Therapies” at the THIRD WORKSHOP ON NANOMEDICINE, UABCEI, Laura González presented the poster “EVALUATION OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SUPERPARAMAGNETIC IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AND THE MODEL ORGANISM Caenorhabditis elegans” and Simining Yu presented the poster “BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN MODIFIES THE INTERACTION OF SPIONS WITH BREAST CANCER CELLS”
Anna will give a lecture in the “Advances in Materials” seminar series at the Institute of Materials of the
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Abstract: Iron oxide nanoparticles are becoming an important class of materials in nanomedicine. They can be used for imaging as contrast agents in MRI as well as for therapeutical purposes and are FDA approved. The talk will start with a brief introduction to iron oxide nanoparticles, a description of the characteristics that make them attractive in the health sector and some of their recently reported biomedical applications. It will then be followed by the workflow we have undertaken to validate in-house synthesized magnetic nanoparticles and nanocapsules to promote angiogenesis as a brain neurorepair therapy after stroke.(1,2)
