Anna Roig will attend the B·Debate on Imaging for Life. From Molecules to Diagnostics and Therapy, that takes place on November 8-9 at CosmoCaixa (Barcelona).

The scientific leaders of this B·Debate are Francesc Xavier Avilés, from the Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina (IBB) – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Boris Turk, from “Jožef Stefan” Institute (IJS) – Ljubljana University, Slovenia.

The objective is to bring together national and international experts in the field to discuss the future perspectives and strategies for the current challenges on molecular imaging.

The B·Debate will focus on molecular, cell, tissue and small animals research, and to their biomedical applications, including non-invasive diagnostic, imaging-guided surgery, multimodal scanning and theranostics.

For sure this B·Debate will be useful for Anna and for the group, since imaging is a powerful tool to study the interaction of inorganic nanoparticles with living organisms, such as C. elegans, which is the topic of Laura González thesis, for example.

This B·Debate is an iniciative of Biocat and l’Obra Social “la Caixa”, together with the Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina (IBB) – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and “Jožef Stefan” Institute (IJS) – Ljubljana University (Slovenia).

Jordi Floriach attends the B·Debate on “Plant proteostasis: towards a green based industry” at CosmoCaixa, co-organized by CRAG

Written by Anna May on September 27, 2016. Posted in Conferences, News.

CosmoCaixa Barcelona hosts on September 27^th and 28^th a meeting of international researchers in basic and applied plant research focused on the development of new sustainable materials: “Plant proteostasis: towards a green based industry”.

The meeting is organized by B·Debate, an initiative of Biocat and Obra Social “la Caixa”, together with the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) (CSIC-IRTA-UAB-UB), and the COST Proteostasis action.

Jordi Floriach, student from the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology degree at UAB and intern in our group under the supervison of Anna Laromaine, is attending this meeting, whose scientific leaders are L. Maria Lois and Núria Sànchez Coll, from CRAG and collaborators of the N&N Group.

The purpose of these debates is to bring together multidisciplinary biotechnology experts to create synergies that would facilitate the transition from a fossil-dependent economy to a sustainable bioeconomy, but also to gain acceptance and support from the general public to carry out this transition.
