El INS presenta avances en el campo de la nanotecnología todas las semanas con el siguiente formato: un investigador propio o invitado expone un tema en 30 minutos, y luego responde preguntas.
Los encuentros son de acceso libre y gratuito y se realizan todos los viernes a las 11 en un lugar a designar. Durante marzo, los seminarios se realizarán en la sala de reuniones de la FAN (Fundación Argentina de Nanotecnología, Av. 25 de Mayo 1021, San Martín). El ciclo se organiza en colaboración con el Grupo de Química de Nanomateriales de la Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica (CNEA).

Abstract:
We discuss science and technology behind various methodologies towards micro, meso, macro porous materials. Special interest is dedicated to macroporous monolithic materials via sol-gel transition accompanied with phase-separation. The present talk also covers fundamental consideration of sol-gel chemistry to nano and macrostructuration of materials.

Yasuaki Tokudome is an Associate Professor at, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka Prefecture University, Japan. He received BE (2005), ME (2007), and PhD Sci. (2010) from Kyoto University, Japan. He has strong research interests in the science and technology of liquid phase reactions, particularly in developing porous materials, layered materials (clays), hybrids, green materials, stimuli-responsive materials.
Abstract:
This talk highlights three different roles gold nanoparticles can play within biological and biomimetic environments. After a short general introduction to the synthesis and the main properties of these materials, I will focus first on the use of gold nanorods for in vivo photo-acoustic imaging and tracking of stem cells. This will be followed by an account of our recent work on photothermal/photodynamic killing of cancer cells using gold nanoparticles under laser illumination. Finally, it will be discussed how gold nanoparticles can be designed to enable charge transfer across biological and model membranes.

Mathias Brust, originally from Hamburg, has been an academic member of staff at the University of Liverpool since 1998, and since 2006, a professor of chemistry. He is also a member of Gabbo’s. His main research interest over many years has been the interaction of functionalised gold nanoparticles with biological systems both for fundamental interest and with the aim to develop new bioanalytical and biomedical tools. He was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant in 2013 to develop and study performance active nanoparticles under non-equilibrium conditions. This concept mimics biological energy conversion processes using predominantly non-biological constituents.
Seminarios anteriores:
Soy investigador del area nanotubos de carbono. Actualmente trabajo en la Universidad de Cincinnati, pero voy estar de paso por Buenos Aires. Me gustaría asistir al seminario del Mayo 20, y tal vez visitar INS. Le agradeceria mucho si puede proveer un mapa para facilitarme llegar.
Mil gracias de antemano
Buenas tardes , quisiera asistir al seminario . Hay que abonar algún arancel ?
Luciano, el seminario se realizó el viernes 26. Saludos
