O autorze

Gil Gonçalves is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow working at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona- Spanish National Research Council (ICMAB-CSIC) on the development of ultra-sensitive nanotherapeutic anticancer agents for neutron capture therapy.

Gerard Tobias leads the research line on “Nanoengineering of Carbon and Inorganic Materials” at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB). His research interests focus on the design and development of both carbon and inorganic based functional nanomaterials, with special emphasis on nanoenginnering materials for both diagnosis and therapeutic applications.
