The CEDENNA Foundation launches a pioneering initiative that seeks to bring frontier science closer to medical practice, with the backing of the Chilean Medical Association.
For the first time in Chile, health professionals will be able to access specialized training in nanoscience and nanotechnology, focusing on its applications in diagnosis, treatment and regenerative medicine. The course, organized by the CEDENNA Foundation, features leading researchers from the country.
This unprecedented initiative seeks to close the gap between scientific research and clinical practice, offering up-to-date tools on the impact of nanotechnology on modern medicine. The program will be delivered online, with an optional hands-on session, and will begin on Monday, June 16.
What does the course include?
- Fundamentals of nanoscience and nanomedicine.
- Applications in pharmacology, imaging and tissue regeneration.
- Nanosafety, professional ethics and regulatory frameworks.
- Clinical cases and future prospects of nanomedicine.
“Nanotechnology is already present in cancer treatments, controlled drug release, regenerative medicine and early diagnosis, but the medical world still has little access to this information. This course seeks precisely to reverse that situation,” said Dr. Dora Altbir, 2019 National Prize for Exact Sciences winner and executive director of the CEDENNA Foundation.
