Sandrine gave an invited lecture entitled "Bioconjugation of Aptamers to Harmonic Nanoparticles for Active Cancer Targeting" at the 10th International Conference on Functional
Nanomaterials and Nanodevices
(NANOMAT2026), which is held from July 7–10, 2026, in Brno, Czech Republic. 

It was the occasion to highlight the PhD research work of Alessandra Spada who developed smart coating and post-functionalization pathways to immobilize anti-EGFR aptamers at the surface of harmonic nanoparticles to promote their selective internalization by cancer cells overexpressing EGFR.
