👩🔬 👨🔬 Yesterday, in IMDEA Materials, we celebrated our second annual "Research Speed Dating" event.
The activity saw around 50 of our researchers take part, with participants presenting their current research lines and interests to colleagues from a variety of research groups
😀 Earlier this week, IMDEA Materials welcomed a guest seminar on rethinking pre-clinical testing and in silico assessment in joint replacement procedures from the
@unibirmingham.bsky.social's Prof. Richard Hall.
He was invited to speak at the institute by Prof. Andrés Diaz Lantada.
La Dra. Mónica Echeverry, Ángela García de la Camacha, Nerea Rodríguez y Paula Chonillo, junto a la gestora de proyectos, Estela Izquierdo, han compartido su trabajo en un instituto de vanguardia en ciencia de materiales y han mostrado cómo es el día a día de la investigación.
