Vilos charla

Professor Cristián Vilos, specialist in Biotechnology and director of the Nanobiomedicine line at CEDENNA, held a challenging dialogue with students from the Colegio Verbo Divino who contacted our center to learn more about the search for therapeutic strategies against cancer based on nanoparticles.

"I do not see a future without the development of nanomedicine from a therapeutic point of view, as science is advancing towards personalized medicine", explained Dr. Vilos to his audience, from which insistent questions emerged about the scope of this line of research. and its future prospects.

“More important than encouraging students to follow a scientific path, I believe that our call should be to encourage critical thinking, an issue that will improve their performance in any labor and intellectual area”, commented the speaker.

At the end of the meeting, Professor Vilos invited the student who had the initiative to generate this meeting to visit him in the laboratory where he develops Chilean nanobiomedicine to see first-hand the instruments with which nanoparticles carrying anticancer therapeutic agents are formed.
