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.

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) announced the opening of its 2026 Special Summer Course for healthcare professionals. This fully flexible and asynchronous course is designed especially for those with greater availability during January and February.

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 winning works of the CEDENNA Images Competition 2025 will be part of the 2026 Wall Calendar and the traveling exhibition Images of the Nanoworld, among other outreach activities of the center

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.

With a gathering that brought together researchers, as well as technical and administrative teams, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) officially launched a new stage as an Applied Research Center, following its success in securing the national ANID competition.
This new cycle positions the Center toward strengthening research with national impact, while preserving its multidisciplinary and interuniversity identity. Today, CEDENNA brings together academics from 18 universities across Chile.

Researcher Fiorella Roco, who began her scientific career at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), was awarded the 2025 For Women in Science Chile Prize in the Doctoral category. This award, granted by the L’Oréal Group in conjunction with the UNESCO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, with support from ANID and the European Southern Observatory (ESO), recognizes women who make significant contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the country.
