Prof. Escarpa visited UCAM-SENS in UCAM HiTech

Alberto Escarpa, Professor of Analytical Chemistry from the University of Alcalá visited the UCAM-SENS facilities.

He gave a motivating speech about his research career and had scientific discussions with the members of the unit.

Core-shell nanoparticles to deliver charged species

Ion-selective core–shell nanoparticles were used for the delivery of cations. The mechanism was studied and the findings were published in Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed (IF:16.6).

This work may pave the way for new drug delivery nanoplatforms.

UCAM-SENS, "Sweating data to break records"

UCAM-SENS protagonize this article in Marca where they analyze the work led by Maria Cuartero and Gaston Crespo to develop a device that measures lactate levels in sweat in real time.

UCAM-SENS developed a sensor for CO2 monitoring

A new microneedle-based epidermal sensor allows for the real-time monitoring of CO2 by measuring pH and CO32– concentrations directly into the interstitial fluid (ISF) for the first time.
