Farewell to Iván and Seminar of Esther Dalfo on biomedical applications of C. elegans

Iván GómezToday during the group meeting we said goodbye to Iván, who is leaving to continue his Ph.D. thesis in Colombia. Iván is a great chemist, who works with magnetic graphene for water decontamination. We wish him a lot of success in his thesis and in his future endeavours!

Esther Dalfo

On the other hand, Esther Dalfo gave us a nice talk on biomedical applications of C. elegans “Investigating neurodegeneration by using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans”. Esther is an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Neuroscience of the UAB, specialized in neurodegeneration and human genetics. Thank you!

Farewell to Jana and welcome to Iván and Deyaa – Group Lunch and Lab Cleaning Day

IMG_20160401_132834-groupThis Friday, after the Lab Cleaning (good job!) we had a N&N Group Lunch to say goodbye to Jana, who did a fantastic job at ICMAB and now is going back to ETH Zurich, and to welcome the two new visiting Ph.D. students, Deyaa, from Egypt, and Iván, from Colombia.

There were 15 of us today! The group always gets big in spring time with all the new students!

Welcome to Iván Gómez into the N&N Group

Foto_IvánIván Dario Gómez Robayo is a Ph.D. Student from the Universidad Industrial de Santander (Colombia). He is working on the synthesis of graphene, and uses it for absorption of contaminants in wastewater. Iván will stay with us for six months to functionalize the graphene with magnetic nanoparticles, as a way to separate it from the water flow. 

Welcome to our group! We hope you enjoy your stay with us!
