Sofía Rubio, Ph.D. student of the Inorganic Nanoparticles Group at ICN2, presented the thesis “Increasing the resolution at the nanobiointerface with engineering inorganic nanoparticles”, which was supervised by the Group Leader, Víctor F. Puntes. The presentation took place on September 23, at 11.30 am at the ICN2 Seminar Room.
Anna Laromaine was part of the Thesis Defense Committee.
Dual T1/T2 MRI contrast agent based on hybrid SPION@coordination polymer nanoparticles
The study 
by M. Borges, S. Yu, A. Laromaine, A. Roig, S. Súarez-García, J. Lorenzo,D. Ruiz-Molina and F. Novio* has just been published in RSC Advances 2015, 5, 86779–86783.
The paper reports a novel hybrid T1/T2 dual MRI contrast agent by the encapsulation of SPIONs (T2 contrast agent) into an iron-based coordination polymer with T1-weighted signal. This new hybrid material presents improved relaxometry and low cytotoxicity, which make it suitable for its use as contrast agent for MRI.
Anna Laromaine will give a seminar at the Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) entitled “Peptide-Nanoparticle conjugates and 3D cell cultures, two methods for bioassays“
