SUMMARY:Thematic Network. NET-NANO Workshop 4: Towards clinical translation
DESCRIPTION:The Next-Generation Nanomedicine Network (NET-NANO) is hosting its fourth workshop on May 8th\, focusing on the theme of clinical translation. This event will address the critical challenges of bridging the in vitro-to-in vivo and bench-to-clinic gaps. \nWe are honoured to welcome Prof. Twan Lammers (RWTH Aachen University Clinic\, Germany) as our Plenary Speaker. The workshop will also feature talks from both internal IBEC researchers and leading external experts\, including Dr Ibane Abasolo (IQAC-CSIC)\, Dr Marta Soler (Nanobots Therapeutics)\, and Dr Judit Morlà-Folch (ICMAB-CSIC)\, bringing together a diverse range of perspectives on clinical translation and entrepreneurship\, including experience in founding spin-off companies. \nJoin us for a day of insightful presentations\, a challenge board\, and a roundtable discussion designed to network and explore the future of nanomedicine. This event will be particularly interesting for PhD students and Postdocs eager to explore the world beyond pure academia\, or for anyone with a great taste for science and innovation and a willingness to have a good time. \n  \nSchedule programme \n09:15-09:30 Registration\n09:30-09:40 Welcome from Network Coordinator\n09:40-10:15 Dr Rosalba Sortino (Nanoprobes and Nanoswitches\, IBEC) – “Restoring vision: from fundamental research to therapeutic strategies”\n10:15-10:50 Eulàlia Negre (Nanobioengineering\, IBEC) – “Advancing Clinical Translation: A Scalable Blood-Brain Barrier-on-a-Chip Model for Nanomedicine and Drug Testing”\n10:50-11:25 Coffee Break & Challenge Board\n11:25-12:00 Prof. Samuel Sánchez and Dr. Marta Soler (IBEC and Nanobots Therapeutics) – “Nanobots: Therapeutics in Motion”\n12:00-12:35 Invited Speaker: Dr Judit Morlà-Folch (NANOMOL-Bio\, ICMAB-CSIC) – “Talk title to be confirmed”\n12:35-13:10 Prof. Giuseppe Battaglia (Molecular Bionics\, IBEC) – “Talk title to be confirmed”\n13:10-14:00 Networking Lunch\n14:00-14:35 Invited Speaker: Dr Ibane Abasolo (Nanomaterials for Therapeutic Applications\, IQAC-CSIC) – “Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia in Pancreatic Cancer: Translational Lessons from Preclinical Development”\n14:35-15:35 Plenary Speaker: Twan Lammers (RWTH Aachen University Clinic\, Germany) – “How to Promote Cancer Nanomedicine Clinical Translation”\n15:35-16:05 Roundtable Discussion\n16:05-16:15 Farewell from Network Representatives \n  \nTo register click here.

SUMMARY:Ibec Seminar. Eric Andrew Appel\, Ph.D. (Cantab)
DESCRIPTION:Polymer-Nanoparticle Hydrogels Enabling Innovations in Cell and Drug Deliver\nEric A. Appel\, Associate Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Stanford University \nDynamic biomaterials exhibit highly useful properties that are impossible with traditional materials but crucial for a wide variety of emerging applications in biomedicine. These materials typically employ enthalpy-dominated crosslinking interactions that become weaker at elevated temperatures\, leading to significant softening. Herein\, we will discuss the development of a physical hydrogel platform exploiting dynamic and multivalent interactions between biopolymers and nanoparticles that are strongly entropically driven\, providing alternative temperature dependencies than typical for materials of this type. We will discuss the implications of these crosslinking thermodynamics on the observed mechanical properties and discuss the desired mechanical properties for injectability\, including viscous flow under shear stress (shear-thinning) and rapid recovery of mechanical properties when the applied stress is relaxed (self-healing). Moreover\, the hierarchical construction of these biphasic hydrogels enables innovative approaches to formulation and delivery of a diverse array of compounds over user-defined timeframes ranging from days to months. In one example application\, we demonstrate that these unique material characteristics can be leveraged for controlled locoregional exposure of immunomodulatory cargo to greatly enhance anti-cancer immune responses. In another example\, we demonstrate that the dynamic structure of these materials can be leveraged for co-delivery of immunostimulatory cytokines and CAR-T cells to improve cancer treatments. Overall\, this talk will illustrate our recent efforts exploiting dynamic and multivalent interactions between polymers and nanoparticles to generate dynamic\, injectable hydrogel depot technologies exhibiting properties not previously observed in biomaterials and affording unique opportunities in biomedicine. \nEric A. Appel is an Associate Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Stanford University. He received his PhD in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and was awarded a Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Prof. Robert Langer at MIT. Eric’s research at Stanford focuses on the development of biomimetic polymeric materials that can be used as tools to better understand fundamental biological processes and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions. His research has led to over 150 publications and 40 patents and has led to three start-up companies. Eric was awarded the IUPAC Hanwha-TotalEnergies Young Polymer Scientist Award in 2022\, the Society for Biomaterials Young Investigator Award in 2023\, and the Biomaterials Science Lectureship Award in 2023\, and the American Chemical Society Kathryn C. Hach Award for Entrepreneurial Success in 2026. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineers and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
