2. Professors Rafael Gómez and F. Javier de la Mata were awarded the University of Lodz (Poland) "Universitatis Lodziensis Amico" medal in May 2025, in recognition of their long and fruitful collaboration with the University of Lodz.
Interdisciplinary collaboration between IRYCIS, UAH, and CIBER through the development of the project: "Dendritic nanogels as modulators of monocytes/macrophages: a dual ex-vivo approach for cytomegalovirus infection in transplant recipients (DEMOSTRAR)." CIBERINFEC-BBN. Principal Investigators: Sandra García Gallego (IRYCIS Area 4) and José Avendaño Ortiz (IRYCIS Area 2).
The defense of two doctoral theses reinforces their commitment to scientific excellence and the training of new researchers.
The group members have continuously participated in various science outreach initiatives aimed at bringing research closer to society. Their collaboration in high-impact events such as Pint of Science, European Researchers' Night, the Madrid es Ciencia Fair, and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is particularly noteworthy.
