APMG a avut si anul acesta o prezența remarcabila la RICCCE 23 🤩
APMG - mereu impreuna! 🎉

In anii 2000 am format impreuna cu cativa colegi, 𝑮𝒓𝒖𝒑𝒖𝒍 𝒅𝒆 𝑪𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒆 avand la dispozitie un singur echipament de cercetare.
Astazi suntem o mare echipa, entuziasta si dornica de cunoastere si dezvoltare in domeniul materialelor polimerice avansate care sa raspunda unor provocari societale majore din domeniul medicinei regenerative, ingineriei tisulare, dezvoltarii de materiale compozite restaurative, eliberarii controlate de medicamente, precum si cel al dezvoltarii de acoperiri si membrane polimerice inteligente si sustenabile.
Am fost onorati sa primim 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒖𝒍 „𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒆 𝑽𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒖 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒏” 𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒖𝒍 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒆 𝒔𝒊 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒆, în cadrul 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐢 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐢 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚̂𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢 – 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, care a avut loc la Opera Nationala din Bucuresti in 27 februarie, in semn de 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑛𝑜𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑟𝑒𝑧𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑎 𝑑𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑖 𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑒, 𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑖 𝑑𝑒 𝑎 𝑎𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖 𝑑𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑖 𝑑𝑒 𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑎 𝑐𝑢 𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑖 𝑑𝑒 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒, 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑚 𝑠𝑖 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑖 𝑙𝑎 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑠𝑖 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑟 𝑖̂𝑛 𝑑𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑢𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑒.

Acest premiu incununeaza o activitate de peste 20 de ani a echipei APMG in care am construit pentru viitor si le multumim cu aceasta ocazie tuturor celor care au fost alaturi de noi in acest parcurs minunat!

Ştiinţele naturii – fizica, chimia, biologia, geografia, astronomia – sunt materii greu de predat. Însă, mai nou, sunt universități și licee care au adoptat metode moderne. Ca să atragă interesul tinerilor pentru studiu. Realitatea virtuală este una dintre ele. Vom afla până în ce punct este binevenită realitatea virtuală, în studiu. Cu Andrada Serafim

UPB | Laboratoarele VR, o oportunitate de a face știința mai captivantă Ştiinţele naturii – fizica, chimia, biologia, geografia, astronomia – sunt materii greu de predat. Însă, mai nou, sunt universități și licee care au adoptat ...

Congratulations, Dr. Andrada Serafim! 🔬🧫🦴

🔬 Andrada is leading her first research project with a team of PhD students. 👩‍🔬 At the University Politehnica Bucharest 🏫, she is doing research on the problem of cartilage depletion by age or disease and tries to find a replacing material. 🦴
This important topic could help millions of people suffering from cartilage disruption. 💪
