Catarina Jones secures 2nd place at the Annual International Biomedical Students Meeting (AIMS) Research Competition
AIMS Meeting is the largest biomedical conference in Europe, organized by medical students, gathering each year over a thousand participants from all the world. Under the guidance of Dr. Teresa Esteves and Dr. Paola Sanjuan-Alberte, Catarina's innovative research reached the finals of the AIMS research competition, securing the second-place award and a €1,000 grant. Out of over 200 abstracts submitted, only 60 were selected to present a poster and pitch, with just three advancing to the finals to present in the plenary session and receive awards. This team, stemming from a collaboration with 2BRG and SCERG, focuses on developing advanced wireless nanobioelectronic systems aimed at targeting cancer bioelectricity, addressing critical challenges in healthcare.
