Secondment RECAP

In the last two years, our team completed some exciting experiments during our secondments in Dublin and Vienna, which have brought us one step closer to achieving our goal of researching cancer theranostic nanomaterials and cancer diagnostics. Through our experiments, we were able to gain new insights into the properties and behaviors of nanomaterials, which will help us to develop more effective cancer treatments and diagnostic tools. We also discovered some promising new nanomaterials that could have significant potential for cancer theranostics. Our secondments also gave us the chance to collaborate with researchers from around the world, exchanging ideas and knowledge that will help us continue to make progress in this field. It was an incredible experience that has only strengthened our commitment to advancing cancer research and treatment. Stay…
