Prof. Víctor Puntes was recently interviewed by the Gaceta Médica (the Medical Gazette) and the Diario Médico (the Medical Journal), within the framework of the ImagineNano 2013 conference, where he was a speaker. The articles were on the use of nanoparticles in cancer therapy (as nanocarriers for drug delivery), precisely the topic of his talk at the conference.

The Gaceta Médica article (in Spanish) was published on April 25, 2013: “Las AuNPs reducen la toxicidad de los quimioterápicos sobre células sanas”.

Prof. Víctor Puntes was invited to participate as speaker in ImagineNano 2013, the second edition of the largest Spanish Event in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, held from April 23 to 26, 2013, at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC), in Bilbao, Spain.

At this major event, seven conferences took place in parallel, as well as a vast exhibition, one-to-one meetings and an industrial forum. ImagineNano gathered the global nanotechnology community, including researchers, industry policymakers and investors.

In this framework, Prof. Puntes was invited on a double feature. First, to give the talk “Detoxifying Antitumoral Drugs via Nanoconjugation: The Case of Gold Nanoparticles and Cisplatin” at the NanoBioMed conference. And secondly, to give a dissemination talk for the general public within the Societal Activities of ImagineNano: “Nanoparticles before nanotehcnology (cosmogenic, geogenic, biogenic and -unnoticed- antropogenic origin)”. Both talks took place on April 24.
