MX-MAP Session on the YUCOMAT Conference 2023

MX-MAP Session will be held during the YUCOMAT Conference 2023  titled:
"Towards MXenes’ biomedical applications by high-dimensional immune MAPping"
HORIZON-MSCA-2021-SE-01 project MX-MAP

MXenes are a new family of recently discovered 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. The immune characterisation of the new materials on the basis of their physical-chemical and immunological properties will open up perspectives for the development of new therapeutic applications of nanomaterials in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, as antibacterial agents, and as immunomodulators. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MX-MAP project will develop key strategies for MXene medical applications. The long-term goal of MX-MAP is to create a pipeline using new MXene nanomaterials for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of immunological compatibility in biomedical applications. This international research/training programme aims to support the career development of young researchers with an interdisciplinary vision of science.

 YUCOMAT 2023 - Confirmed Plenary Speakers

The conference will be held on September 4-8, 2023, at the Hunguest Hotel Sun Resort Herceg Novi****, Herceg Novi, Montenegro.

Herceg Novi is a town at the entrance of the Boka Kotorska Gulf in Mediterranean, cuddling among two hundred and fifty species of tropical and subtropical plants. A town overlooking the sea from its steep hill, from its fortresses, stone stairs and belfries.
