Want to play with Sugammadex in AR?

drug discovery, news,

We are happy to share this little beta version game that Balázs Attila Kondoros and Kristóf Felegyi put together during their Bicyclos HEurope secondment. Special thanks for the support and guidance of Angel Piñeiro and Rebeca Garcia-Fandino for their amazing work.

Molvelle AR Software was developed within the framework of the European Bicyclos project (EC-funded Staff Exchange project n° 101130235) in collaboration with the University of Santiago de Compostela, MD.USE Innovative Solutions S.L., Carbohyde, and IES Rosalía de Castro, Santiago de Compostela.

Enjoy!

1st Bicyclos Cyclodextrin Workshop

news,

On Day 1, we started with with students sharing results and plans from their secondments, then moved along to hear from PIs about challenges, possibilities and wishes regarding the project.

Day 2 was dedicated to science with our invited speakers Matthieu Sollogoub, Francesco Trotta and Dina Yannakopoulou followed by lectures from Jose Manuel Garcia Fernandez and Milo Malanga PhD (dreaming about making synthesis simple and sustainable) and we created some hypothetic ventures with Gergely Toth.

Day 3-4 was a mix of science and soft skills with analytical lectures (Ilse Manet and Szabolcs Béni) and cyclodextrins in electrosensors (Maria Antonietta Casulli). The last sessions of the workshop dealt with soft skills rather than science. Tamas Sohajda shared insights of using social media and AI for making science more accessible. Then Ilse Manet, Maria Antonietta Casulli and Barbara Ventura delivered a workshop about grantwriting.

And most importantly, behold the organizing committee from Eötvös Loránd University and CarboHyde:

The first secondment at Bicyclos has been completed

news,

Kristóf Felegyi just completed CarboHyde’s very first secondment under the scope of the Bicyclos HEurope project under the strong support of Csenge Anna Felegyi-Tóth.

Kristof worked for 5 months in the lab of Jose Manuel Garcia Fernandez under the supervision of Juanma Benito and created various cyclodextrin polymers that we will evaluate for gene and small molecule delivery.
😎
We appreciate the strong support and hospitality of CSIC and look forward to further collaborations.

As Kristof did not take a single photo in the lab, we can only trust he did not only do sightseeing in the wonderful city

The Bicyclos International Workshop will be held in Budapest from September 24th to September 26th.

news, ,

The workshop is open to all R&I personnel from both public and private sectors who are interested in carbohydrate research, especially cyclodextrins. On September 24-25, there will be seminars on the sustainable synthesis of carbohydrates and their derivatives, including their characterization and application in devices. The following days, September 25-26, will cover topics such as launching a spinoff company, with seminars by experts from CarboHyde and Cyclarity Therapeutics, and guidance on writing an MSCA proposal, featuring sessions led by coordinators of MSCA projects, which will also include practical exercises.

Register here: Bicyclos International Workshop on September 24-26, 2024

A registration fee of 225 Euro applies and comprises participation in the event, digital copies of the seminar slides, lunches on 24-25 September, and coffee breaks on 24-25-26 September. Registration fees do not apply to Bicyclos staff members.

The deadline for registration is May 31, 2024

Bicyclos starting!

news

As we reported earlier CarboHyde is part of an EU-sponsored 4-year long staff-exhange project, Bicyclos.

Bicyclos is a staff exchange project funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme after successful application in the call HORIZON-MSCA-2022-SE-01-01. The project started on September 1st, 2023. We are 9 beneficiaries and 2 associated partners coming from 8 countries in Europe and America. We are all interested in fostering progress of cyclodextrins in biomedical applications.

During this project, CarboHyde staff will spend 30+ months abroad and will host students for 40+ months in the upcoming 4 years doing high level science on moonshot projects – of course, all based on cyclodextrins.

Now its time to start our first journey, as our excellent chemist, Kristóf Felegyi is going to Seville for 5 months to make some fancy compounds at the lab of Jose Manuel Garcia Fernandez.

Farewell Kristof, we expect you back soon!
