Book from WG2 Conference - Call open for contributions

Dear COSTers,
following our very successful WG2 Conference, our WG2 leader and vice-leader, Dr. Ivana Vinković Vrček and Dr. Evgeny Apartsin, are the Editors in charge of the following Book: Handbook for physicochemical characterisation of nanopharmaceuticals; Subtitle: Fundamentals, protocols, tips and tricks for facilitating quality, efficacy and safety evaluation of nano-enabled medical products, planned in collaboration with the Horizon 2020 project Phoenix “Open InnovationTest Bed for Enabling Nano-pharmaceutical Innovative Products”

The Book will be submitted for publication by The Royal Society of Chemistry, within the Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Series edited by our Action Member Prof. Nguyen TK Thanh, University College London, UK.

Each Book chapter should have the same design and, following the style of e.g., Nature Protocols, should describe:
Physico-chemical fundamentals of a technique
• Concise overview of its applications in nanomedicine
• Description of equipment used (including high-throughput models, if exist)
• Structure of readouts (in which form raw data are acquired and how they are treated)
• What information is obtained and what does it mean
• Troubleshooting
• Perspectives

Ivana and Evgeny will prepare the template to be strictly followed upon Chapter preparation.

If you intend to commit to this great initiative, please contact Ivana (ivinkovic@imi.hr) or Evgeny (eka@niboch.nsc.ru) for further info and actions.

Looking forward to your contributions to this great CA17140 initiative!

1st Science and the Action seminar on ITC in cancer nanomedicine scheduled!

Dear COSTers,
we are pleased to announce that Prof. Erik Laurini from the Molecular Biology and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MolBNL@UniTS), University of Trieste, Italy, has graciously accepted to start the fire and is the first officially scheduled speaker of our Science and the Action seminar series.

Erik will tell us about Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) in cancer nanomedicine on Friday March 18, 2022, from 3 to 4 pm.CET

An event reminder with the link to join the seminar will be sent to all Action members close to the scheduled date.

We look forward to your enthusiastic participation!

Science and the Action! The new CA17140 online seminar series

Science and the Action!

Dear COSTers,

We have decided to launch the Science and the Action series of event in order to foster and promote Action networking, knowledge exchange and general activity. 

Science and the Action will be a bi-weekly 1-hour online series of seminars proffered by ACTION MC and/or any Action Member (young researchers and Innovators most welcome)

These events are scheduled every 1st and 3rd Friday from 3 to 4 pm

Each presentation (about 30 minutes, followed by Q&A) may consist in: report of scientific activity/results, seminar on specific technique(s), laboratory presentation…etc.

The events will be organized by the Action Chair and Vice-Chair (Dr Nazende Günday Türeli) along with a Scientific/ Organizing Committee to be selected among Young Researchers/Innovators

The call for Science and the Action Scientific/Organizing committee is now open! Please spread the voice!

Most importantly, you are strongly encouraged to send both your contribution (title and preferred date) to N.Guenday-Tuereli@mybiotech.de  (AND CC to cost_action_17140@icloud.com) starting TODAY!

All Young researchers/Innovators can further communicate their intention to be part of the Science and the Action Scientific/Organizing Committe to N.Guenday-Tuereli@mybiotech.de  (AND CC to cost_action_17140@icloud.com) starting TODAY!

Join us and contribute!

Registration form and info for the 1st STSM Conference

Dear STSM Grantees,

It is requested by the CA17140 Action COST Officer and Chair that Grantees report about their STSMs at a dedicated Conference . This means that the STSM Grantees are requested to present their STSM scientific reports in one of the two virtual STSM conferences (March 16 and September 22, 2022).

Since another STSM Call is starting now and other new Grantees will present their reports in September, it is recommended to you to  present the reports on March 16, unless having impediments for this date. In this case, please inform me. Also inform me in case, for well-founded reasons, a Grantee cannot present the report at either of the two Conferences.

Presentations will take no more than 15 minutes and are easily prepared on the basis of the scientific report you already wrote. Longer presentation times will depend on the number of participants.

The Registration form and the template for the abstract of the presentation at the March 16 Conference can be downloaded from this page

Both have to be sent before February 20 to the Organizing/Scientific Committee of the Conference (on the basis of the Working Group of the Home Institution):

Natalia Sanz del Olmo (natsdo@kth.se) and Elham Poonaki (e.poonaki@gmail.com) for WG1,

Dilara Buse Durdabak (dilarabuse.durdabak@std.yeditepe.edu.tr) and Jose A. Laz Ruiz (josealazr@gmail.com) for WG2,

Natalia Fernández Bertólez (natalia.fernandezb@udc.es) and Natalia Sanz del Olmo (natsdo@kth.se) for WG3,

Dario Manzanares (dariomanzafarmacia@gmail.com) for WG4

Maria Francesca Ottaviani (maria.ottaviani@uniurb.it) as Coordinator in Cc.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Grant Awarding Coordinator (Prof. MF Ottaviani)
