7th Course "Challenges and Prospects of Nanomedicine
for Brain Targeting"
Course Director: Francesca Re
The INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF NANOMEDICINE has the pleasure to invite you to attend the workshop “Advanced Nano- and Micro-structured materials for medical applications” that will be held on 20-25 July 2022 at International “ETTORE MAJORANA FOUNDATION AND CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC CULTURE” of ERICE (Sicily) Italy.
​
The workshop is co-organized with the Nanomedicine Center of the University Milano-Bicocca - NANOMIB
​
The Lectures will be fully devoted to the latest and most significant achievement in the following sessions:
​
-
Nanomaterials for diagnostics in vitro
-
Nanomaterial for imaging in vivo
-
Microplates for drug release
-
Biosensors
-
3-D manufacturing of micro-structured materials
-
Hydrogels
-
Polymeric materials
-
Lipid-based materials
-
Photoactivable materials
-
Hybrid materials
The aim of the International School of Nanomedicine is to encourage and promote networking between young scientist in Nanomedicine and to provide them with state of art competences at an international level.
The workshop will provide many opportunities for interactions and discussions between students, postdocs, junior as well as senior investigators, encouraging and promoting networking between them. The Course will be located in the old pre-mediaeval city of Erice providing an amazing setting for high intellectual endeavor.
​
​
We encourage Early Career Researches to present their investigations by submitting an abstract for either oral or poster presentation.
​
The great Sicilian hospitality is aimed at forging collaboration and exploring ideas though multidisciplinary approaches.
