3rd International Conference on Applications of Radiation Science and Technology
Between 7–11 April, 6 members of the Applied Radiation Chemistry Team - BioMat took part in the 3rd International Conference on Applications of Radiation Science and Technology - ICARST, organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the Agency's headquarters in Vienna. Three members of the Team presented their research results during oral presentations, and the younger members of the Group took part in poster presentations. Participation in the international conference allowed for refreshing relationships with esteemed scientists in the field of radiation research, as well as establishing new contacts that may result in groundbreaking research projects in the future.
Technical Meeting on Basic Radiation Chemistry in Polymer Modification
Between 9-13 September, at the request and under the patronage of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, UN), the Applied Radiation Chemistry Group - BioMat organized and conducted for the second time an international workshop at the Institute of Applied Radiation Chemistry (IARC). The scientific meeting entitled "Technical Meeting on Basic Radiation Chemistry in Polymer Modification" concerned the chemistry and radiation technology of polymers. A note about the workshop was published on the website of TUL's University Life magazine, we invite you to read it (text in Polish):

Article TUL's University Life magazine no. 156 – Nanogels as radioisotope transporters in oncology
Recent decades have brought development of knowledge and technology in the field of targeted and controlled delivery systems of drugs and other biologically active substances to the human body. Among such systems, formulations based on nanoparticles deserve special attention. They enable improvement of drug solubility and stability, extend their time in the bloodstream and help reduce side effects of therapy.
