Anna gave the presentation “Implications of surface coating SPIONs with a pre-form protein corona” at the HINT Workshop “Nanostructured materials: coatings, surface, bioceramics/-composites membranes” that has taken place in Vilnius, Lithuania 14-16th March 2016. She also participated in the Management Committee Meeting of this COST Action.
Yesterday, March 1st, was the day for the Kick-off Meeting of the project E-BCN: Engineering Bacterial Cellulose Nanocomposites (MAT2015-64442-R). The project will have a duration of three years and the team that will be working on it is formed by Anna Roig (PI), Martí Gich, Anna Laromaine, Jordi Faraudo (Materials Simulation and Theory Dept.), Dino Tonti (Solid State Chemistry Dept.), Laura Asturias and Anna May.
The main objective of the project is to develop new nanocomposites of bacterial cellulose (BC) by innovative cost-effective approaches. We will engineer BC at the biosynthesis stage, form nanocomposites with BC and nanoparticles, model relevant aspects of BC structure and its interaction with nanoparticles, and provide the proof of concept for novel devices and products.
If you want to know more about the project, keep following our activities in our website. You can also check our publications and/or contact us for any further question.
All the members of the Group of Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites participated in the group Christmas meeting by bringing nice chocolates, minerals (Bismuth and Calcite), origami stars, Christmas plants (Poinsettia and Mistletoe) and Christmas cards. The last group meeting of the year 2015!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2016!
Let the Nano be with you! ***
This week, Laura gave an oral presentation at the 5th Spanish Worm Meeting – Salamanca. She presented the results of iron oxide nanoparticle assesment using C. elegans as an in vivo model.
“B-Debate on Nanotechnologies in Health: Current challenges and future prospects” will take place between the 9-11 October at the Cosmocaixa museum. For more information please check here.
Anna has an invited contribution entitled Magnetic nanoparticles, 2D and 3D structures by microwave assisted thermal decomposition
at Symposium B, Stress, structure, and stoichiometry effects on the properties of nanomaterials II
She will also participate with other talks in Symposia D,E, and I.

The Joint European Magnetic Symposia will be held in Rhodes, Greece next week. Anna Roig will give an invited talk in Symposium 8 on Medical, Biomedical, Biomagnetic and Biotechnology applications.
Siming Yu, Pengfei Niu, Martí and Anna Roig will attend the Nanoselect workshop to be held in Sant Feliu next week.
Siming will present two posters and Pengfei and Martí will give two oral communications. You can see the program here.
Muling attended the 2013 Chunhui Science Conference (26th June – 2nd July, Dalian, China) (www.chinaocs.com). The conference was organized by the Science and Technology Ministry and Education Ministry of China. Its purpose is to introduce a number of advanced technologies and projects overseas of high-level talents to return China. 1,270 overseas students were selected. Muling was the only representative from Spain. 28 provinces and municipalities have been enrolled in this conference. China is offering a very strong economical support for students abroad.
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.
