Next April, Dr. Patricia Díaz, a researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), will give an internationally focused talk to health professionals in Latin America and Spain, centered on the impact of nanomaterials on the development of medical-surgical supplies, especially in antimicrobial applications and healing processes.
This initiative stems from the interest generated by her recent presentations to industry, where she showcased advancements in nanobiomedicine applied to the development of medical and surgical supplies. In particular, her presentations addressed the use of materials such as cellulose fibers and silver nanoparticles in advanced patches and bandages, demonstrating how nanotechnology is transforming the design and functionality of these clinical devices.
One of her most recent milestones was her participation in EXPO HERIDAS, an event organized by BBraun Medical SpA, which brought together 33 companies in the sector and more than 1,500 healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, technologists, and advanced training students. Following this event, the researcher was again invited to give a specialized talk for professionals associated with the company.
The exhibitions have stood out for bringing nanotechnology concepts closer to clinical practice, showing how the properties of the nanoscale (such as increased surface area and greater interaction with microorganisms) allow for optimizing the performance of medical supplies and contributing to the prevention of infections in hospital settings.
This type of initiative is part of CEDENNA's knowledge transfer strategy, aimed at strengthening the link between scientific research, industry and clinical practice, in a context where technological innovation is becoming increasingly relevant to improving the quality of health care.
