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.
