From the 2nd to the 6th of December 2024, MOBILIsE hosted the 2nd edition of the MOBILIsE “Advanced Course in Molecular Bioengineering” at the i3S, bringing together international experts and researchers for a week of intensive learning and networking.
The course explored the science and technologies involved in surface functionalisation and characterisation, as well as the design of interfaces for various biomedical applications, including cell culture and biosensing. Taught by international experts who shared their diverse and complementary expertise with the participants (check programme) and discussed their work with the i3S community.
Taking advantage of the presence of renowned scientists in the field, MOBILIsE also hosted a Molecular Bioengineering Seminar at INEB/i3S featuring Prof Julien Gautrot from the School of Engineering and Materials Science at the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK, who shared his insights on bioengineering approaches for cultivating cells at liquid interfaces.
Bringing together lecturers and attendees from various countries and nationalities (Bulgaria, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, Kazakhstan, Portugal, Russia, UK), this course also provided a valuable networking opportunity, along with coffee and tea breaks sponsored by QLabo.
The course was highly valued by both participants and lecturers, and it will return next year for its third edition. Here, we leave some of the comments from the participants:
“The quality of the talks were very good, and the objective of the practical part too. It was a welcoming enviroment promoting networking and discussion.”
“The lectures and practical classes were at the highest level and fully met expectations.”
“Great speakers and practical session topics.”
