In an unprecedented collaboration between the CEDENNA Foundation and the Chilean Medical Association, the webinar “Nanotechnology for the medicine of the future: a first step towards clinical innovation” will be presented, an event that will serve as the launch of the course “Nanotechnology for Medical Professionals”. The aim of this course is to bring the benefits and applications of nanotechnology closer to Chilean physicians, preparing them to face the challenges of increasingly advanced and personalized medicine.
The 40-minute webinar will take place on Thursday, December 5 at 7:00 p.m. It will be led by researchers from the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, who will explain the impact of nanotechnology on modern medicine and its practical applications. National Prize for Exact Sciences winner Dr. Dora Altbir, Executive Director of the CEDENNA Foundation and Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at Universidad Diego Portales, will open the event with an introduction to the transformative role of nanotechnology in medicine and its relevance for the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Webinar Program:
- Nanotechnology in Medicine: Dr. Pedro Chana will highlight current advances and the importance of nanomaterials in improving treatments.
- Clinical Applications: Dr. Cristian Vilos will discuss concrete success stories in diagnosis and treatment using nanomedicine.
- Use of Nanomaterials in Drug Delivery: Led by Dr. Samuel Baltazar, this section will explore how nanomaterials increase the bioavailability and efficacy of medicines.
Finally, Dr. Altbir will provide details about the course to be offered in the first semester of next year, with key information on its format, duration and registration dates. Designed to be taken online over eight weeks, the course will cover topics such as the development and use of nanodevices in medicine, nanoscale drug delivery systems, and the ethical and legal implications of these technologies in medicine, among others.
Participation in the webinar is free and open to all health professionals interested in learning how nanotechnology can transform their daily clinical practice.
