Members of the PlasmaMED Lab have co-organized, together with a team from Cornelius University led by Dr. Peter Papp, the 4th Training School “Bridging Science and Innovation: Translating Plasma Medicine into Clinic and to the Marke” of the PlasTHER Cost Action, held in Slovakia from the 28th to the 31st of January, 2025. Project Manager Noelia Aparicio was also an Invited Speaker, and some members of the research group also presented their work during the Training School.

PlasmaMED Lab co-organizes the 4th Training School of PlasTHER Cost Action.

Dr. Cristina Canal, Noelia Aparicio and Dr. Francesco Tampieri have co-organized, together with a team from Cornelius University led by Dr. Peter Papp, the 4th Training School “Bridging Science and Innovation: Translating Plasma Medicine into Clinic and to the Marke” of the PlasTHER Cost Action, held in Štrbské Pleso (Slovakia) from the 28th to the 31st of January, 2025.

Noelia Aparicio, Project and Communications Manager of the project, offered an invited talk and workshop on "Communicating your research with impact: asking the right questions for telling the best stories", highlighting the importance of not only disseminating and protecting research results, but also communicating them to non-scientific audiences and the general public, and also giving tools in order to do so.

During the Training School, all young researchers attending had the opportunity to present their work during the three poster sessions held at the event. More specifically, members of the PlasmaMED Lab and visiting student Vladyslav Vivcharenko presented their work on:

- Alfio G. Arcoria, Francesco Tampieri, Cristina Canal. New protocol to quantify surface distribution, penetration depth and concentration of RONS in hydrogels used as 3D models for living tissues.

- Giulia Fornabaio, Cristina Canal. Tackling the Breast Tumour Microenvironment via Cold Atmospheric Plasmas.

- Rachel LeBlanc, Albert Espona-Noguera, Francesco Tampieri, Marina Valls, Cristina Canal. Plasma-treated hydrogel for applications in tissue regeneration and 3D-bioprinting.

- Vladyslav Vivcharenko, Agata Przekora, Cristina Canal. Plasma-activated polysaccharide-based biomaterial for delivery of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

- Milica Živanić, Albert Espona-Noguera, Angela Privat-Maldonado, Patrik Matušů, Francesco Tampieri, Maria-Pau-Ginebra, Abraham Linb, Evelien Smits, Annemie Bogaerts, Cristina Canal. Feasibility and Efficacy of RONS and Drug Co-Delivery via Plasma-Treated Hydrogels.
