Nanomaterials for immunotherapy | Maria Oliveira and Susana Santos

Talk by Maria Oliveira and Susana Santos at the online workshop "2D Materials for Biomedical Applications".

Maria José Oliveira graduated in Biology by the Faculty of Sciences-UPorto in 1996 and completed her PhD degree in Health and Medical Sciences at Ghent University Hospital (Belgium) in July 2004, under the supervision of Prof Marc Mareel. Susana G. Santos is an Assistant Investigator at i3S-INEB. She did her basic degree in Biology and masters in Molecular Microbiology, at the University of Aveiro, before moving to the University of Porto to do her PhD as part of the G.A.B.B.A. program. Oliveira and Santos elucidated about nanomaterials for immunotherapy.

This two-day workshop bridged Nanotechnologies and Biomedicine, by exploring the large library of 2D materials available today as well as its potential applications in health and medicine. Participants and speakers discussed the different types of 2D materials and their multiple functions, shared techniques on how to produce and grow these materials and had conversations about their potential in the medical field.
