Open talks for students and teachers, an exhibition showcasing the most relevant research being conducted in Chile, and an opening conference led by Dr. Dora Altbir, 2019 National Prize for Exact Sciences recipient, along with government ministers, senators, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Air Force, marked the start of NanoWeek 2025, organized by the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).
An innovative national initiative seeks to position Chile as a key player in the development of technology for the space industry. This project, recently awarded through the Fondef competition, is led by Adolfo Ibáñez University (UAI) and directed by Dr. Alejandro Pereira. It brings together the University of Santiago (USACH), the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), the Chilean Air Force (FACH), and the Spanish company Nanostine.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) has once again been selected by the National Research and Development Agency (ANID) to receive state funding under the 2025 National Competition for Applied Research Centers. ANID's decision recognizes the outstanding work carried out by its researchers for over 15 years and ensures its continued status as one of Chile's leading centers for nanoscience and nanotechnology research.
The project “Development and Implementation of the Oral Epithelial Cell Culture Technique (COMET) for the Treatment of Patients with Bilateral Corneal Limbal Insufficiency,” led by Servicios Médicos Luis Pasteur S.A. with the participation of researchers from the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Santiago, Chile (USACH), was awarded funding by CORFO through the Crea y Valida program.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) is present throughout the three days of Expo Salud 2025, with a specially designed module to bring nanotechnology closer to the clinical world and demonstrate how these scientific tools are already transforming the fields of diagnostics, personalized medicine, drug delivery, tissue regeneration, and nanosafety.
As part of the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Course for Healthcare Professionals, CEDENNA held a hands-on workshop in its laboratories, where physicians had the opportunity to directly experiment with some of the most advanced tools and techniques in the field.
CEDENNA was present at Expo Salud 2025, held at Espacio Riesco, where for three days it participated with an information booth aimed at bringing nanoscience and nanotechnology closer to professionals, students, and the general public.
A musical piece inspired by the universe of nanoscience, created especially from the scientific work developed at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, was premiered this Saturday, December 6, at the Cielo 2025 Concert, a free experience that unites music, astronomy and scientific dissemination from an innovative, sensitive and interdisciplinary artistic proposal.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) announced the winners of the 2025 CEDENNA Images Contest, a science outreach initiative that recognizes images obtained from cutting-edge research and seeks to bring the nanoworld closer to the public through visual language.
