Bhavya (ESR 5) and Nidia (ESR 7) both won prizes at the photogenic science contest organized by the IPA (International Photodynamic Association)! Light can save lives, and look amazing in the process! Congratulations to both of them!
ESR 4 is now Dr João Simões! He successfully defended his thesis on November 26th, 2021, titled Radiolabelled porphyrinic metalla-assemblies linked to cellulose nanocrystals as PDT and imaging agents. He was supervised by Bioemtech, and graduated both from the University of Neuchâtel and the University of Limoges.
All the PIs and ESRs met on January 7th, 2022, to prepare the last 6 months of the project implementation. Due to the pandemic, the meeting was held online.
