The European Researchers’ Night (G-Night 2021)
The European Researchers’ Night (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) is a Europe-wide public event focus in the divulgation of the science. This year, the event took place in 29 countries on Friday 24th September 2021. Our group went to O Tinglado, Vigo, to participate in this event.
The Heal-4Ward project is a European doctoral network for advanced care and rapid diagnosis of wound infections, funded by the European Union with 3.3 million euros through the Horizon Europe program and Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions.
Following its kick-off meeting in Rome, the 48-month initiative brings together ten European partners—including CINBIO at the Universidade de Vigo, integrated in the Cigus Network—to train 11 predoctoral researchers across Europe. At the Universidade de Vigo, the participating team is coordinated by researcher Gustavo Bodelón González from the Functional NanoBioMaterials group (FunNanoBio), directed by Isabel Pastoriza Santos and Jorge Pérez Juste, focusing on developing non-invasive 3D bioengineered human skin models and SERS spectroscopy for personalized infection diagnosis and treatment.
