See you there! - The NICe Team
Happy New Year 2025! Our winter break in northeastern Switzerland was marked by lots of snow and some impressive traditions. Did you know about the Silversterchlausen? They start early in the morning, going from house to house and wishing everyone "es guets Neus" in Appenzell.
The Nanointercell (NICe) Team wishes you Happy Holidays and a much-deserved break! 🎄✨ As you can see in the video, even our cells are feeling the holiday spirit!❄️❄️ (Sound on) @Empa_CH
Celebrating a decade of @Empa_CH collaborative research with the @GrapheneEU. Great achievements: over 170 partners across 21 countries, 20 spin-offs, 108 products, and 387 patent applications. @Empa_CH leads in graphene research and innovation!

Peter Wick's reflection on this 10 years: “The long-term collaboration under the Graphene Flagship enabled a level of productivity and mutual trust which was very special in research projects. The relationships we’ve built will continue to drive innovation for years to come.”
We were present last week at the @Swiss3RCC NAMs Symposium in Bern. Excellent speakers that showed how #NAMs shape biomedicine. Thanks to @Swiss3RCC for the excellent organization. Foto: Beatrice Brugger @BarriersLab, Su Liu and Vanesa Ayala-Nunez @VanesaAyalaN
Excited to welcome Sandra Valero Cardoso to the NICe team! 🎉 Sandra, a Master's student, will focus on biocompatibility and evaluating novel antibacterial coatings. We can’t wait to see your contributions! 💡 #Innovation#Teamwork#Science
🚨New review in @ACSMatLett! 🚨 We explore immune cells as 'Trojan horses' for nanoparticle-based cancer therapies, tackling challenges like delivery barriers and fine-tuning #nanoparticles strategies. Congrats to Vanesa Ayala-Nunez @VanesaAyalaN! ⭐️pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Excited for the 3RCC symposium this Friday! 🚀 Let's talk glioblastoma NAMs—connect with @VanesaAyalaN, Selina Camenisch, and Su Liu. The @BarriersLab team will also be there. See you in #Bern! 🧠✨ #3Rs#NAMs#InVitro
Are you involved with #replacement methods, or interested in understanding to what extent they are currently used in practice? 👉 Join our symposium to explore the implementation of New Approach Methodologies in clinical practice and drug development: buff.ly/4gWot5a
Check our latest contribution in Advanced Science: a sustainable method to create bioluminescent wood using fungi! This collaboration with Francis Schwarze is an innovation that could save energy & cut CO2 emissions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Congrats to @LeonardKrupnik and Giacomo Reina @giacomo_reina from our team, who contributed to the characterization of the wood transformation by the fungi, crucial to understand the phenomena.
Today we played the presale edition of the game Publish or Perish by @baixx062 upon organization by Nikos Tagaras @BarriersLab! We had a blast trying to get papers out despite snarky reviewers & bent rules of honest publishing 😈Big congrats @baixx062 for creating this fab game!
First snow of the season at @Empa_CH St. Gallen. 💜🩵💜🩵 It highlights the beauty of our building, which is almost 30 yo. Can you believe it? @nanointercell
Today after 1000s of images by our TEM expert @Vera_Kissling, her superuser team Sebastian, Stephanie, Nikos & Tao, & supra-user Alex we say thank you & farewell to our trusted orange Zeiss EM900 #TEM@Empa_CH with an 80ies shell & the insides of the 2000s!🔬#staytuned#TEMnews

Last week our shared PhD student @LeonardKrupnik@center_Xrays submitted his #PhD#thesis & celebrated this big achievement with us over super-yummy self-made blueberry-cheese-cake! 👏🏻 Well done & big congrats again Leo! 💪🏻😎
This week our new #PhD student Stephanie Eitner was at the PhD welcome day @Empa_CH with Sina from our sister lab @BarriersLab!
We wish you all the best on this journey & are happy to have you in the team!💪🏻
Our account was also mentioned on the social media list, very #proud 😎
