Nanotechnology allows the creation of a myriad of materials by producing composite self-assembled architectures, e.g., inorganic and/or organic nanoparticles, biomolecules, therapeutics, etc. The fine tuning over their properties provides powerful solutions for the development of smart nanotherapeutics. However, despite the multiple advantages that nanoformulations provides, very limited success has been achieved in complex models or in vivo.
Design smart nanoformulations enabling effectively targeting and dose control and thereby, avoiding off-target effects as clearance by liver and spleen, remains among the most critical challenges in the field of the nanomedicine. New synthetic approaches to design more efficient and selective nanocarriers are therefore needed.
The properties of engineered nanomaterials in terms of size, composition, shape, degradability, stimulus-responsive behaviour, elasticity, etc., can be finely modulated by several synthetic approaches. Here we will discuss some approximations developed by our group, combining stimulus-responsiveness and surface engineering, aiming to develop efficient and smart nanocarriers for biological applications. One of these approaches is based on developing biomimetic nanocarriers with a surface that mimics different cellular compositions (tumoral cells, platelets, immune cells, etc.). These nanocarriers can be programmed to perform specific biological tasks such as evade immune cells, prolong systemic circulation time, homotypic targeting, and high efficiency of intracellular drug release. Moreover, enabling effectively dose control can be achieved by developing stimuli-responsive controlled delivery systems triggered by stimuli such as NIR light.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
