The 4th and Final Meeting of the PlasTHER COST Action was organized by the PlasmaMED Lab and took place at the Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE) from the 17th to 20th June 2025. 

The meeting, which was conceived as a hybrid between a workshop and a symposium, focused on discussing the COST tasks of all its working groups, working together for the production of the specific final deliverables, as well as prioritizing the presentation of results from the STSMs performed in the last year among PlasTHER members in the form of talks and poster presentations.

Several members of the lab had the opportunity to present their research during the 3.5-days meeting:

  • A. G. Arcoria, F. Tampieri, C. Canal. Optimization of Cold Atmospheric Air Plasma Jet Treatment on 3D Soft Tissue Models: Analysis of RONS Distribution and Penetration. Poster presentationR. LeBlanc, M.P. Ginebra, C. Canal.  A review of the effects of cold atmospheric plasma on tissue repair & regeneration. Poster presentation.
  • G. Fornabaio, C. Canal. Targeting the Breast Tumour Microenvironment via Cold Atmospheric Plasmas. Poster presentation
  • P. Urdalleta-Goenaga, J. García-Torres, C. Canal. Multifunctional hydrogels combining cold atmospheric plasma and electric field technologies for anticancer therapy. Poster presentation.
  • M. Živanić, A. Espona-Noguera, A. Privat-Maldonado, P. Matušů, F. Tampieri, M.P. Ginebra, A. Lin, E. Smits, A. Bogaerts, C. Canal. Alginate-based Plasma-treated Hydrogel as a Versatile Dual Delivery Platform. Poster presentation.
