Prof. Sonali Correa, a research teaching assistant in the Biotechnology Research Program at the School of Engineering, was awarded a fellowship in July 2017 by the National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII), which is funding a three-month research stay at the Aragón Institute of Materials Science at the University of Zaragoza in Spain.

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effect of Hybrid Nanostructures Containing Peroxidase Mediated by Magnetic Hyperthermia

The project is titled "Evaluation of the Therapeutic Action of Hybrid Nanostructures with Peroxidase Mediated by Magnetic Hyperthermia" and will take place from September 1 to December 10, 2017.

This research is part of Prof. Correa’s doctoral thesis on hybrid nanostructured supports for enzyme activation mediated by magnetic hyperthermia.

She will be supervised by Dr. Valeria Grazú, a researcher at the aforementioned institution and co-advisor for her doctoral dissertation, along with Dr. Lorena Betancor, a faculty member and researcher in biotechnology at the school.
