Chulalongkorn College Hosts Worldwide Convention on Nanotechnologies for Well being and Properly-being

Chulalongkorn College organized a world tutorial convention titled “Chopping-edge Nanotechnologies for Good Well being and Properly-being” to current nanotechnology improvements as new options for most cancers therapy. The convention was held from July 9 to 12, 2024, on the Music Corridor, Artwork and Tradition Constructing, Chulalongkorn College, and the Mandarin Lodge, Bangkok. 

A significant drawback in most cancers therapy is the unintended effects from chemotherapy. The medical business has been looking for most cancers therapies which can be extremely efficient however with decrease unintended effects. Among the many present medical developments, in addition to CAR-T cell remedy, the most recent analysis entails treating most cancers utilizing focused nanotechnology mixed with photodynamic remedy. That is being studied beneath the “OXIGENATED” analysis venture, funded by the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Analysis and Innovation Workers Change (H 2020-MSCA-RISE). The analysis was introduced at this convention. 

The OXIGENATED analysis venture is a examine on most cancers therapy utilizing nanoparticles to ship oxygen to most cancers cells and stimulate the killing of most cancers cells with photodynamic remedy. Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Boonla, Division of Biochemistry, School of Medication, Chulalongkorn College, is the pinnacle of this venture, which acquired funding to conduct analysis from 2019-2024. The brand new therapy is a focused elimination of most cancers cells, which drastically helps cut back the probabilities of unintended effects for sufferers through the course of. The H 2020-MSCA-RISE has additionally given funding to 2 extra analysis tasks, specifically the SUPRO-GEN, headed by Prof. Dr. Pithi Chanvorachote, Affiliate Dean for Analysis, School of Pharmaceutical Science, Chulalongkorn College, to be accomplished in 2026; and the THERABOT, a examine on another therapy of utilizing micro organism to inhibit and get rid of most cancers cells, headed by Asst. Prof. Dr. Nattida Chotechuang, Division of Meals Know-how, School of Science, Chulalongkorn College, which can start in 2025, 

The convention “Chopping-edge Nanotechnologies for Good Well being and Properly-being” is a serious gathering of these concerned within the medical discipline, researchers, pharmacists, and scientists from all over the world who particularly work on most cancers therapy. This serves as a place to begin for collaboration between universities, medical faculties, startups, and main private and non-private organizations. The opening ceremony of the convention happened on July 9, 2024, on the Music Corridor, Artwork and Tradition Constructing, Chulalongkorn College. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Sittipunt, Dean of the School of Medication, Chulalongkorn College, and Director of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, gave a welcome speech, adopted by opening remarks from H.E. Mr. David Daly, Delegation of the European Union to Thailand, H.E. Mr. Felipe de la Morena Casado, the Spanish Ambassador to Thailand, with Asst. Prof. Dr. Sirinan Kulchat, Deputy Director of Program Administration Unit for Human Sources & Institutional Growth, Analysis and Innovation (PMU-B), and Dr. Sergio Moya, the coordinator of OXIGENATED.  

Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Boonla, Division of Biochemistry, School of Medication, Chulalongkorn College, head of the MSCA-RISE OXIGENATED venture, introduced at this convention, described the revolutionary most cancers therapy as a expertise system for delivering most cancers medicine and oxygen to focus on most cancers cells. It makes use of nano-protein carriers with hemoglobin as an oxygen service and a photosensitizer. When this nano-protein reaches the cancerous space and lightweight is utilized, the substance breaks down into free radicals that may get rid of most cancers, making most cancers therapy more practical. Presently, it’s being examined in vitro and in mouse fashions, with plans for human trials within the close to future. 

Moreover, this worldwide convention included the SPAIN-THAILAND INNOVATION FORUM on July 12, 2024, at Ballroom A, 1st flooring, Mandarin Lodge Bangkok. This yr, the collaboration of analysis and improvement, in addition to change of data, expertise, and innovation between Thai and Spanish researchers and entrepreneurs expanded in the direction of the event of Nano Medication beneath the theme “Harnessing the Potential of NANOTECHNOLOGY: FUTURE HEALTH, PERSONALIZED MEDICINE AND WELLBEING.” H.E. Mr. Felipe DE LA MORENA, Spanish Ambassador to Thailand, and Miss Suchada Thaensap, Secretary to the Minister of Increased Training, Science, Analysis and Innovation (MHESI), attended the opening of the discussion board. 

Chulalongkorn College wish to thank each assist contributed to creating leaps and bounds within the improvement of most cancers therapy innovation. Particular thanks go to the next companions: 

  • Middle for the Technological Growth and Innovation (CDTI), beneath the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Spain 
  • The Ministry of Increased Training, Science, Analysis and Innovation (MHESI) by the Program Administration Unit for Competitiveness (PMUC) 
  • The Spanish Company for Worldwide Growth Cooperation (AECID) 
  • PMU-B Cluster Coordination Workplace 
  • The European Union 
  • Marie Skłodowska- Curie Actions 
  • The Centre for Cooperative Analysis in Biomaterials-CIC biomaGUNE 

Any group involved in being a part of the event of most cancers therapy, please contact Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Boonla, Division of Biochemistry, School of Medication, Chulalongkorn College, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Nattida Chotechuang, Division of Meals Know-how, School of Science, Chulalongkorn College
