Laura González (ICMAB) has won the prize for the Best Oral Presentation at the 2nd Scientific Meeting of BNC-b Students (PhD meeting) for her talk “Evaluation of inorganic nanoparticles in the model organism C. elegans”.

The second prize for Oral Presentation has been for Daniel Grajales Garcia (ICN2) for his talk on “Bio-Hacking and Do-It-Yourself Biologist”. The two posters awards have been for Enelia Cristina (ICN2) (second prize) and Florind Merkoçi (ICN2) (first prize). The winners were determined through popular voting.

The aim of this conference is to give the opportunity to PhD, Master and Undergraduate students working in nanoscience at the UAB Campus to present their own scientific work in a 10-15 minutes presentation or in a poster (poster sessions). The meeting took place at the Facultat de Ciències i Biociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) on June 29th-30th.

Congratulations Laura!

June 29^th-30^th are devoted to the “2nd Scientific Meeting of BNC-b Students”, which will take place at the Sala d’Actes of the Facultat de Ciències i Biociències (UAB). The meeting is aimed to present the work done by the PhD students of the Barcelona Nanotechnology Cluster – Bellaterra (ICMAB, ICN2, IMB-CNM, UAB, ALBA), promoting networking among all the students in an academic and scientific environment.

The N&N group will have a large participation in the event, both from PhD students and Master and Undergraduate students:

Laura González (PhD student) will give a talk on “Evaluation of Inorganic nanoparticles in the model organism C. elegans” (Session 2, June 29^th, 12.15 h).
The following posters will be presented (Poster sessions: June 29^th10.45-12.00 h; June 30^th 10.30-11.15 h):
- Adsorption of toxic metal ions onto magnetic graphene oxide (Iván Gómez, Visiting PhD student)
- Encapsulating endothelial progenitor cell’s secretome for vascular remodeling therapies (Irene Anton, Master student)
- Magneto-plasmonic multimaterial nanoparticles (Miquel Torras and Adrià Gordillo, Undergraduate students)
- Production of bacterial nano-cellulose as a terrific natural polymer (Deyaa Youssef, Visiting PhD student)
- Stabilization of epitaxial quartz on Si from amorphous silica films (Qianzhe Zhang, PhD student)
