The N&N researchers Sole Roig and Anna Laromained are co-authors of the publication “Enzymically attaching oligosaccharide-linked ‘cargoes’ to cellulose and other commercial polysaccharides via stable covalent bonds” recently published on the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules.
Congratulations to them and their collaborators!
We are glad to share some good news to start the new academic year; after a long revision process, the paper “Bacterial Nanocellulose and Titania Hybrids: Cytocompatible and Cryopreservable Cell Carriers” has been accepted for publication.
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!
We are happy to announce some good news amidst the COVID-19 crisis: Our paper “Bacterial nanocellulose as a corneal bandage material: a comparison with amniotic membrane” has been published in Biomaterials Science.
Good news has been received from Programa d’Indústria del Coneixement! The project Novel Nanocellulose Patches to Treat Corneal Wounds (CORNEAL-BC) has been awarded with a 20.000€ grant.
This month the N&N Group acquired three new students – and each of them will work on a different research line. Say hello to Thomas, Andrea and Marc!
The N&N group is back from the holidays break and today we announce an open PhD position (FPI scholarship). If you are a student with a strong background in biomedicine and you are highly motivated and interested in multidisciplinary projects, apply to our offer!
We are happy to announce that our new review “Opportunities of Bacterial Cellulose to Treat Epithelial Tissues” is out and ready to download! This paper has been published on the journal “Current Drug Targets” on a special issue dedicated to Nanotechnology in Biomedical Applications. Do not miss this nice summary about the promising diverse applications of bacterial nanocellulose in regenerative medicine!
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.
