🎓🔬 Vincenzo Montanarella, doctoral candidate at #SPM40, took part as a volunteer in the Jornada de la Dona i la Nena en la Ciència at VHIR.
With colleagues, he guided children through research labs, highlighting scientists’ daily work and the role of women in science.
🎓🔬 Our SPM4.0 doctoral candidate Marc Rodriguez-Salazar presented his poster at #ViSpec2026:
🧪 “Multimodal Registration ‘Sandwich’: A Framework for Correlating Different Microscopy Images”
Congrats to Marc for showcasing correlative microscopy! 👏
🎗️ World Cancer Day
The earliest signs of cancer appear at the nanoscale, long before they’re visible under optical microscopes.
SPM4.0 uses AI-powered microscopy to detect early cellular changes, supporting future cancer research.
🔬🎓 Adele Mana (SPM4.0) presented the poster “Effect of Buffer Systems on the Formation and Stability of Polymer–Nucleic Acid Complexes” at the XVI SPLC-CRS Conference on Controlled Drug Delivery, held in January 2026 in Albacete, Spain.
🎓 Excited to share that Vincenzo Montanarella, a doctoral candidate from the #SPM40 Doctoral Network, joined the EscoLab initiative!
