The PhD fellow Irene Anton from the NN group participated in the TechTransferStories launched by the Technology Transfer unit of ICMAB. In this 20 minute-interview, Irene explains her personal experience researching in collaboration with the private sector to find medical applications for the biopolymer bacterial nanocellulose. Do not miss it!
Face masks are still one of the key factors helping us face the current COVID-19 pandemic, and have been part of the conversation since the first responses to the virus started to appear. The other key factor is physical distancing. Jan Grzelak, a PhD student in N&N Group, has presented an Online ICMAB Seminar on the current knowledge we have on the materials used to create masks and their reusability.
You can watch the recording of the seminar here.
If you missed the live version of the talk about how is the life of a nano-bio-researcher by Irene Anton-Sales, you can still watch it on youtube! Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
The science outreach activities of the NN group keep moving on! Next Wednesday 3rd of June at 12.00h you can spend a “virtual day” with the PhD fellow Irene Anton-Sales.
The CORNEAL-BC project explores the possibilities of bacterial nanocellulose to treat corneal wounds in close collaboration with ophthalmologists. We are very happy to see this project featured on the CSIC R+D newsletter! Read the article (Spanish) here and learn more about it!
On January 29, Anna Laromaine and Amanda Muñoz attended the Second BAR Meeting about C. elegans. Barcelona-based community of experts on the small worm met in the Bocconcino bar to talk about their research and experience in an informal setting.
Our recent paper reporting on a multifunctional bacterial nanocelullose mille-feuille has been featured on the CSIC magazine! We are always pleased to see our work explained to the general public. Do not miss it!
On the 19th of August 2018, the paper “Els materials que canviaran el món” was published in La Vanguardia. Many ICMAB researchers, including Anna Roig from the N&N group, were interviewed and explained the new materials they are developing at ICMAB. Anna talked about nanoparticles and bacterial nanocellulose.
Between 14 and 16 May 2018, the bars of Barcelona will be full of science. Pint of Science is back in town!
The program “A researcher in your classroom” brought Anna Roig, from the N&N group, to Lliçà d’Amunt, at Institut Lliçà (Tuesday, 3 February 2018), and the ICMAB researcher Agustín Mihi to Institut Dr. Puigvert de Sant Andreu in Barcelona (Wednesday, 4 February 2018). Both audiences were secondary school students of 4t ESO.
