Research and nanomedicine – 10th edition

The Tenth edition of the “Research and Nanomedicine” workshop will be held either in person and remotely on Wednesday 17 June 2026.

The event will be held in English at CG1 Hall (Chemistry Department), placed in Viale Taramelli 12 in Pavia and will be divided into 2 sessions: Nano-therapeutics and Nano-diagnostics scheduled in the morning; Regenerative Medicine in the afternoon.

In order to promote knowledge and meetings between the various groups that carry out research in the area of nanomedicine and the 3Rs, but also with a view to activating collaborations, synergies and participation in future projects, interested parties are invited to present their studies during the workshop.

To participate as a speaker, simply send the title (in English), the name of the speaker, the affiliation and preference for the topic to the following e-mail addresses: livia.visai@unipv.it, piersandro.pallavicini@unipv.it, nora.bloise@unipv.it no later than 30 April 2026.

Please insert in the object of the email: Participation as speaker at the “Research and Nanomedicine” Workshop

The registration link is shown in the leaflet: Leaflet Workshop on Nanomedicine 2026

We also remind you that the certificates of participation will be issued both to the speakers and to the participants with the recognition of CFU.

With our best regards,

Livia Visai, Piersandro Pallavicini and Nora Bloise
