VI International Summer School on Cyclodextrins

news, education,

The VI International Summer School on Cyclodextrins, held in Genoa, Italy, brought together young scientists and leading experts under the theme “Natural molecules for a better life”. Hosted in the historic surroundings of the University of Genoa, the event kicked off with impactful keynote lectures by Dr. Milo Malanga (CarboHyde) on sustainable and scalable cyclodextrin synthesis, and Prof. Li (National University of Singapore) on supramolecular cyclodextrin assemblies for drug and gene delivery.

The summer school served as a vibrant platform for PhD students and early-career researchers to present their work, such as on thermosensitive intranasal gels, amino-acid functionalized CDs, and other drug delivery systems — via posters and flash oral presentations. Participants appreciated not only the scientific value but also the strong networking opportunities and the support of mentors like Milo Malanga and Prof. Sorrenti.

What a personal milestone!

Our youngest one, Dani Bisericaru was still at Università degli Studi di Torino when he did this work that now led to his first first-author paper.

Special gratitude goes to Francesco Trotta and Adrián Matencio Durán for their excellent mentorship of Dani that we enjoy to this very day at CarboHyde.

So check out and learn how this research lays the foundation of the eco-friendly use of cyclodextrin-based polymers for micropropagation improvement.
