Dr. Albert Espona, short scientific stay at the Center for Oncological Research in Belgium

Postdoctoral Fellow Albert Espona has just renurned from a 1-month Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) at the Center for Oncological Research of the University of Antwerpern in Belgium, under the supervision of Dr. Angela Privat Maldonado.

The main goal of the STSM was to evaluate the potential anticancer effect of 4 plasma-treated hydrogel formulations on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in Ovo, using the human pancreatic cell line Mia PaCa-2.

Dr. Espona has been able to carry this research stay thanks to the funding offered by COST Action  PlasTHER, CA20114.
