Farewell to Laura Asturias!

Written by Anna May on . Posted in News, Welcome and farewell.

farewell-laura AIn today’s group meeting, Laura Asturias presented her work on “Gold nanoparticles/carbon thin film sensors for the determination of mercury in seawater“. It was her last presentation within the N&N Group, since she is leaving next week! 🙁

After the talk, we gave her a farewell card and some presents. We will miss her, and from now on electrochemistry will always remind us to her.

We also would like to congratulate her for graduating from the “Máster Universitario en Profesor de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Idiomas” at the Universidad de Burgos. Congratulations! 😀

We wish Laura a lot of success in her future career, either as a teacher or as a scientist (or both!) and in all the aspects of her life! Good luck!

Laura Asturias will give a talk at the 16th International Conference on Electroanalysis (ESEAC 2016), which will take place between 12th-16th June in Bath. 2016 represents the 30th Anniversary of the meeting, which brings together the most outstanding research in electroanalytical chemistry from across Europe and the world.

Laura will present “Carbon-gold nanoparticles thin-film electrode for the determination of mercury in sea water“, a project she has been working on within the Common Sense project at ICMAB.

The COMMON SENSE project‘s title is “Cost-effective sensors, interoperable with international existing ocean observing systems, to meet EU policies requirements“, and the main topic of this meeting was Work Package 7: Sensors for in-situ monitoring of heavy metals. The COMMON SENSE project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Program (Ocean 2013-2) under the grant agreement no 614155.

COMMON SENSE RESULTS: First test of the newly developed heavy metal sensors for Cd and Pb in natural sea water samples

Written by Anna Roig on . Posted in News, Projects News.

This first test using natural Mediterranean seawater has shown that the method and electrodes worked correctly.

Studies were done at the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in the Aquaria and Experimental Chambers (ZAE) facilities.

The water salinity of the samples was ~38, that is, nearly the highest values (40) that can be found in open seas worldwide. Neither “recent” nor “old” seawater analysed showed significant values of Cd and Pb. However, Cu was detected in the “old” seawater. These results are in accordance to the periodic control analyses carried out in the ZAE.

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.
