The past week we attended the workshop on “Electrical and optical active molecular materials for bio-applications” (ACTIVE2022) organized by the Tuneable and Low-Cost Molecular Electronics (RL4) and Bioactive Materials for Therapy and Diagnosis (RL5) research lines from ICMAB, CSIC. During the event, Ph.D. researchers presenting their work participated in the contest for the Best Flash Talks that awarded Raquel Gimeno and Jorik Waeterschoot, a Ph.D. student and a visiting Ph.D. student from KU Leuven in our group, with the first and second prize. Congratulations guys!

We are hiring! 

A post doctoral position focused on the “(Bio)-funcionalization and assembly of particles for biomimetic membranes” is available in our group in the framework of the European project SynEry aimed at reproducing the key features of erythrocytes . Within the SynEry project, the main activity of our group will be the (bio)funcionalization of nanoparticles, the study and control of their assembly and disassembly.

The past 22 October, our PhD candidate Laura Rodriguez successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Synthesis and Characterization of Curcuminoids and their derived polymeric systems” supervised by Nuria Aliaga from the Funnanosurf and Concepción Dominguez Pascual from the Supercritical fluids and functional materials group. She brilliantly presented the work, and after a depth and inspiring question session animated by the PhD commitee formed by Maria Rosa Aguilar de Armas from the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Polímeros (ICTP-CSIC), Mónica Giménez Marqués from the Instituto de Ciencia Molecular (ICMol) and Silvia Gómez Coca from the Instituto de Química Teórica y Computacional (IQTC), she became a new doctor of our group and a new Icmab graduate. It was indeed among the first thesis defended in a hybrid format allowing both live and online participation after the pandemic. Congratulations Dr Laura Rodriguez and all our best wishes for your future, we will miss you!
