The dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Santiago and CEDENNA researcher, Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa, recently published an opinion column on Radio Cooperativa, in which he analyzes in depth the impact that the convergence of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence is having on a global level.

 Did you know that, beyond the visible smog, there is an even more silent threat in the air we breathe?

In his recent column published by Radio Cooperativa, Dr. Juliano Casagrande, director of the CEDENNA Center Program at USACH, addresses one of the most invisible and dangerous aspects of pollution: nanoparticles.

These ultrafine particles, a product of combustion and industrial activity, can penetrate deep into the human body, causing severe health effects. But they also open up a key field of action for science.

The Cooperativa Ciencia media outlet today highlighted the important achievement of the team led by Dr. Pedro Chana, a researcher at CEDENNA and president of CETRAM, who has been awarded a prestigious international scholarship.

The newspaper Las Últimas Noticias recently published an article about an important achievement for Chilean science: the Center for Movement Disorders (CETRAM), directed by Dr. Pedro Chana, a neurologist and researcher at CEDENNA, was selected by the Michael J. Fox Foundation to receive the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship.

From the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), we share the column by Dr. Juan Escrig, principal investigator at our Center and dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Santiago, published in the national newspaper Cooperativa.

 The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) will open its nanotechnology course to healthcare students and professionals for the first time. The initiative, recently highlighted by Cooperativa Ciencia, seeks to bring the most innovative scientific advances to those on the front lines of clinical practice.

The tenth version of the ProNano 2025 workshop, developed by CEDENNA, was recently highlighted by the Cooperativa Ciencia media, recognizing its valuable contribution to scientific dissemination and education in the country.

The initiative took place at the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) and brought together teachers from various regions of the country with the goal of bringing nanoscience closer to classrooms.

The newspaper Usach Al Día, part of the University of Santiago de Chile, recently published an article highlighting the tenth edition of our ProNano workshop, a key opportunity for teacher training in nanoscience and nanotechnology. According to the publication, the workshop included the participation of teachers from different regions of the country, who immersed themselves in a training session designed to provide tools aligned with the new secondary school curriculum.

CEDENNA continues to excel in scientific research and innovation. Recently, the University of Santiago de Chile's publication, "USACH al día," published an article entitled: "INN Accreditation Positions CEDENNA as a Leader in Nanomaterial Toxicity Measurement." In this article, CEDENNA Director Dr. Juan Escrig highlighted: "This accreditation will increase industry confidence in our services, facilitating collaborative projects in sectors such as health, energy, and the environment.
