Training
The Master's in Chemistry at the Interface with Biology and Materials Science has completed its 5th edition with the farewell ceremony held last Tuesday at CiQUS.
Over a period of 3 academic semesters, the 4th graduating class addressed major challenges in the fields of chemistry, biology and materials science.
Prof. Donald Hilvert (ETH Zurich) gave the closing lecture: Design can pave the way to fully programmable enzyme catalysts.
After joining the regular CiQUS activity in July, fifteen fellows have today concluded their first research experience.
The closing sessions began with the defense of the research initiation projects and ended with a lecture by Prof. David Amabilino (ICMAB-CSIC).
Santiago de Compostela was the place to hold the 18th National School of Molecular Materials (ENMM) from 20 to 24 March. CiQUS Principal Investigators Félix Freire, María Giménez, Diego Peña and Francisco Rivadulla have participated in its organisation.
Two intensive sessions that began on Monday with the presentation and defense of the Master Thesis Dissertations and ended with a lecture by Professor Jesús Jiménez-Barbero.
Under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Lazzari, Dr. Daniela Reggio has recently defended her thesis entitled "Testing, validation and optimization of Surface-Enhanced Raman (SERS) sensors for the detection of small molecules in cultural heritage materials".
Empowering Women in Science has been a workshop to strength emotional intelligence and mental health.
Under the supervision of Prof. Eddy Sotelo, Ana Mallo Abreu has recently defended her thesis entitled "New Ligands and Pharmacological Tools for the Study of G Protein Protein-Coupled Receptors using Multicomponent Reactions".
El programa de actividades incluyó la defensa de los proyectos de iniciación a la investigación, una mesa redonda y una conferencia de clausura.
The centre welcomes the beneficiaries of the sixth edition of its summer fellowship programme, running through July.
The symposium took place on 17-18 June and included parallel face-to-face sessions and common remote activities.
Deadline to apply for admission in Master in Chemistry at the Interface with Biology and Materials Science is July 20th
Soraya Learte has defended her thesis under the supervision of Prof. José Luis Mascareñas.
Martin Calvelo has recently defended his thesis entitled "Computational methods for the design and applications of self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes".
The Master in Chemistry at the Interface with Biology and Materials Science is a pioneering qualification for those interested in exploring the frontier between chemistry, biology and nanomaterials.
María F. Navarro Poupard has recently defended her thesis entitled "Porous nanosystems for biological applications" under the supervision of Pfr. Pablo Taboada and Dr. Pablo Del Pino at CiQUS.
Zulema Fernández has defended her thesis entitled "Covalent and Supramolecular Helical Polymers: The Down of Matryoshka Materials" under the supervision of Prof. Félix Freire and Prof. Félix Quiñoá.
During the investigation, supramolecular strategies have been developed to promote the delivery of different types of molecules into the cellular interior.
