Launch of the “Nanotechnology for Doctors of Chile” course with free initial webinar

In an unprecedented collaboration between the CEDENNA Foundation and the Medical College of Chile, 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 opening for the course "Nanotechnology for Medical Professionals ". The objective of this course is to bring the benefits and applications of nanotechnology to Chilean doctors, preparing them to face the challenges of an 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. The National Prize for Exact Sciences Dr. Dora Altbir, Executive Director of the CEDENNA Foundation and vice-rector of Research and Innovation of the Diego Portales University, will open the event with an introduction on the transformative role of nanotechnology in the medical field and its relevance for the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's.

Webinar Program:

1. Nanotechnology in Medicine: Dr. Pedro Chana will highlight current advances and the importance of nanomaterials to improve treatments. Clinical
2. Applications: Dr. Cristian Vilos will address specific cases of success in diagnosis and treatment using nanomedicine. Use of Nanomaterials in Drug Delivery: 
3. Led by Dr. Samuel Baltazar, this section will explore how nanomaterials increase the bioavailability and effectiveness of drugs.

Finally, Dr. Altbir will provide details of the course that will be taught in the first semester of next year, with key information about its format, duration, and registration dates. Designed to be taken online over a period of eight weeks, the course will delve into 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 the medical field, among other topics.

Participation in the webinar is free and open to all health professionals interested in learning how nanotechnology can transform their daily clinical practice.
