In the current edition of this well known event, Víctor is part of the Organizing Committee for the Symposium Q: “Bionanomaterials for imaging, sensing and actuating”, and several members of our group will be presenting their work in different symposia:

Symposium U: Design of multifunctional nano-objects for biomedical applications

  • Víctor Puntes will be giving the talk “Designing Nanobots to fight Cancer” on Tuesday May 28 at 11:15.

Symposium F: Nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage

  • Neus Bastús will give the talk “Synthesis and Catalytic Properties of Metal and Metal-based Hybrid Nanoparticles” on Wednesday May 29 at 9:45.
  • Jordi Piella will presenting the poster “Size tailoring of TiO2 nanoparticles via agglomeration state and its relation to photocatalytic properties” on Monday May 27 at 16:30.

Symposium Q: Bionanomaterials for imaging, sensing and actuating

  • Eudald Casals will be giving the talk “Reactivity of Engineered Inorganic Nanoparticles: Insights into nanotoxicity mechanisms” on Thursday May 30 at 11.40.
  • Joan Comenge will be giving the talk “Gold Nanoparticles as agents for drug delivery: Detoxifying the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin” on Wednesday May 29 at 14:50.
  • Ngoc Tran will be presenting the poster “Nanoparticle Behaviour in Contact with Different Body Fluids: From Sweat to Serum” on Tuesday May 28 at 16:00.
  • Sofía Rubio will be presenting the poster “The same formulation, a different effect. Controlling conformation of NanoBioconjugates” on Tuesday May 28 at 16:00.

We look forward to participating of this major event!

]]> Our participation in the NanoTOES Conference http://www.inorganicnanoparticles.net/our-participation-in-the-nanotoes-conference/ Mon, 30 Jul 2012 10:58:04 +0000 http://inorganic.wpengine.com/?p=973 The NanoTOES EU-FP7 project, in which we are partners, recently organized a conference on the “Need for new biological assays for new nanomaterials”. The event took place in Dublin, Ireland, on July 10-11, and several members of our group participated with poster contributions:

  • Ngoc Tran (NanoTOES Marie Curie Fellow), “Inorganic nanoparticles-protein corona: formation and controlling factors“.
  • Sofía Rubio, “Synthesis, Surface Modification and Immunological properties of Peptide-conjugated Gold Nanoparticles“.
  • Joan Comenge, “Gold Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Agents for Cisplatin: Avoiding Side Effects of Chemotherapy“.

The meeting was an excellent ocassion to discuss closely with many of the top European experts on nanosafety and bio-nano interactions. In addition, the conference was held next to another mega event, the EuroScience Open Forum 2012, also held in Dublin at this time. This turned out to be a great opportunity to all the members of the group who attended many of the multiple talks on the future and impact of science in society, science policy, industry-academia relations, Nobel lectures, etc.
