Once a year, researchers from CINBIO gather to show and combine their expertise and the newest advances in chemistry, nanotechnology, biology, medicine as well as health, physics, mathematics, and information technology, core research lines at CINBIO, which express its interdisciplinary nature. Leading scientists from around the world in these disciplines are invited to join this event and share their knowledge and expertise.

INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory was proudly represented at the VIII Annual Meeting of CINBIO, hosted by the University of Vigo, where our researchers shared exciting early-stage findings from the SENSOPAD project. 

Hugo Silva delivered an oral presentation focused on innovative methods for sorting nucleated cells from menstrual fluid, a key step toward the development of non-invasive diagnostics.

Miguel Silva presented a poster on strategies for capturing and recovering cell DNA, which will be used in the graphene sensor of the sensoMFgFET system, one of the core components of the SENSOPAD platform for early endometriosis detection.

Our partners also participated in the Gordon Research Conferences on Physics and Chemistry of Microfluidics (GRC 2025) that focused on unpublished research in microfluidic technologies and took place in Barga, Italy, in early June.

During the poster session, Hugo Silva, from INL, presented preliminary findings from the SENSOPAD project, which aims to develop portable, microfluidic systems for the early detection and self-monitoring of endometriosis, while Carlos Honrado was also involved in contributing to this scientific dialogue.
