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!
“Els materials que canviaran el món” published in La Vanguardia
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 Roig brings nanomaterials closer to secondary schools with the program “A researcher in your classroom”
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.
Two recently published papers about Carlos’s previous work
Carlos Moya, a postdoc in the N&N group, had a good start into 2018 in terms of publications!
On January he was coauthor of the paper “Probing the variability in oxidation states of magnetite nanoparticles by single-particle spectroscopy“ about his previous work at University of Barcelona. It was published on the Journal of Materials Chemistry.
Anna Roig participates in debates about research and development in Catalonia
3rd March 2018 Anna Roig participated in the debate “Coneixement i Recerca” held at the University of Vic in the context of the “Congrés Participatiu Catalunya i Futur”. This project is supported by the platform exigents.cat. The day before, she appeared on the local TV from Esplugues del Llobregat, on the program “Catalunya segle XXI-Recerca i Desenvolupament“.
A project from the N&N group at the R+D CSIC newsletter
Anna Laromaine, from the N&N group, Núria Sánchez-Coll, from CRAG (Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics) and other co-workers have developed an effective method for plant tissue regeneration that involves the use of a bacterial nanocellulose. This study appears on the monthly newsletter from the Consejo Superior de Investigciones Cientificas (CSIC) together with the work from other ICMAB researchers. This project called PLANT HEALING was funded by Fons Europeus de Desenvolupament Regional, Departament d’Empresa I Coneixement de la Generalitat de Catalunya with 20.000€.
The video “A story on Bacterial Cellulose” among the 15 jury favourites videos in the JoVe contest
Last June 2017, Anna May and Sole Roig filmed a video for the JoVe contest: Film your research. Although the video on entitled “A Story on Bacterial Cellulose” didn’t make it to the final, we have just received the notice that it is one of the Top 15 critically acclaimed videos by the jury!
Anna Laromaine inaugura el curs a l’INS Cassà de la Selva
