Irene Marco, head of the Molecular Imaging for Precision Medicine group at IBEC, talked about bioengineering and molecular imaging to the students coming from The Netherlands, concretely from TU Delft (Delf University of Technology), the oldest and largest technical university in The Netherlands with more than 27,000 students, and the Erasmus MC program in The Netherlands, and the medical faculty Erasmus MC.
She gave an overview of the research work carried out in her laboratory, and emphasized on BLOC project, explaining the great possibilities of molecular imaging coupled to organ-on-chip devices. After her talk, students had the opportunity to exchange ideas with Irene Marco and to talk about research, bioengineering and the possible professional outcomes in this field.
