posters – Inorganic Nanoparticles Group http://www.inorganicnanoparticles.net Research group at ICN Mon, 13 Jan 2020 13:55:52 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.28 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.

This local initiative also had the institutional support of ICN.

Several members of our group presented their recent work:

  • Eudald Casals, “The inorganic nanoparticle biomolecular corona. Formation, evolution and biological impact”.
  • Lorena García, “A simple method for the preparation of cationic gold nanoparticle bioconjugates for cell penetration”.
  • Jordi Piella, “Gold nanoparticles as drug delivery agents for cancer therapy”.
  • Ngoc Tran, “Size-controlled synthesis and functionalization of large gold nanoparticles”.
  • Sofía Rubio, “Synthesis, surface modification and immunological properties of Peptide-conjugated gold nanoparticles”.
