On the 9th-10th September, the BSNM hosted our Annual Meeting (#BSNM2024) in the beautiful Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, UK, Over the course of the two-day event, conference participants had the opportunity to hear about a wide range of research topics, ranging from novel nanomaterials and nanoparticles for drug delivery to nanoparticle fabrication, nano-biological interactions, and innovative microbial applications for nanomaterials.

Alongside our esteemed keynote speakers, Professor Laura Itzhaki (University of Cambridge), Professor George Malliaras (University of Cambridge), Professor Moein Moghimi (Newcastle University) and Professor Nguyen T. K. Thanh (University College London),  we were delighted to welcome Dr Kevin Jackson (Waters Wyatt), Dr Alexander Dulebo (Bruker),  Dr Stephane Mazlen (Izon), and Dr Nisha Ponnappan (Medicines Discovery Catapult) as invited speakers. Our delegates spanned the scientific pathway, from early career researchers, academics and industry experts from across Europe, making for a dynamic and exciting scientific programme.

The best poster presentation was jointly awarded to Sophia Belser from University of Cambridge for her work on Probing local thermodynamics of organelles at the nanoscale with spin-based, biocompatible thermometry and rheometry. and Alexander Evtushenko also from University of Cambridge, for his work on Protein-Based Nanotechnology for the Treatment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

The best oral presentation was jointly awarded to Anna Scheeder from  University of Cambridge for her work on the Molecular Mechanisms of Cationic Fusogenic Liposome Interactions with Bacterial Envelopes and Rory Hills from University of Oxford for his work on Quartet Nanocages Elicit Broad Anti-Coronavirus Humoral Immunity to Facilitate Proactive Vaccinology.

Also, a BSNM first, a prize for outstanding innovation was awarded to Oliver Vanderpoorten from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, for his work on the NANOSPACER.

We, at BSNM would like to extend a big thank you to the award sponsors, Emmanuel College, along with the many companies who kindly sponsored and exhibited at the event, thank you to all our fabulous sponsors, Analytik, Anton Paar, Bruker, Croda, Izon Science and Waters | Wyatt Technology and of course, to all our delegates for another fantastic annual meeting!

BSNM Annual Meeting

The British Society for Nanomedicine (BSNM) Annual Meeting 2022 took place in Swansea University, on the 22nd & 23rdAugust 2022. It provided an excellent opportunity for researchers to showcase innovative research and discuss outputs and opportunities with both senior and young researchers and experts within the field of nanomedicine.

Poster and oral presentation winners were Owen Harrison (King’s College London) and Pratik Gurnani (University of Nottingham), for their presentations on the “Development and optimisation of in vitro blood-brain-barrier models to study the impact of ultrasound and cavitation-mediated mechanical forces” and “self-amplifying RNA delivery using charge reversal polymers”, respectively.
