El próximo viernes, 26 de enero, celebramos un nuevo Seminario de la Semana. Contaremos con la presencia de Chris Sammon, Head of Polymers, Nanocomposites and Modelling Research Centre en la Sheffield Hallam University, que impartirá una charla titulada: "Vibrational spectroscopy applications in life sciences". El evento se celebrará a partir de las 10:00 en el Salón de Actos del IATA.
Breve CV de la ponente:
Chris Sammon, PhD, is Professor of Polymer Science and Head of the Polymers, Composites and Modeling Research Centre, within the Materials and Engineering Research Institute at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and is named inventor on three granted patents in the area of injectable hydrogels for applications in regenerative medicine. His current research interests include the design, characterisation and synthesis of polymer systems for regenerative medical and drug delivery applications. He is a world leader in the application of vibrational spectroscopy to investigate the distribution and mobility of water in polymeric systems; including synthetic and natural biopolymers, hydrogels, pharmaceutical systems, cellular materials, saline separation systems, plastisols and cellulose ethers.
He is passionate about outreach activities and regularly takes science into local schools and local bars to engage and inspire the young, the old and the inebriated!
