Prof. Fernando Stefani has been appointed as a Titular Member of the prestigious National Academy of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences (ANCEFN). This is a significant honor, as only 37 scholars across all disciplines hold this distinguished position. His inclusion highlights his outstanding contributions to research and innovation, further strengthening the Academy's mission to promote [...]
Santiago Sosa succesfully defended his Ph.D. thesis. Santi worked under the co-direction of Prof. Fernando Stefani and Prof. Fernando Goldbaum (Leloir Institute) on the engineering of the protein BLS for the fabrications of nanophotonic devices and for developing structural biology measurements based on fluorescence nanoscopy. Congratulations Santi!
Today, Luciana Martinez successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis on optical manipulation, nanothermometry and controlled photo-induced growth of metallic nanoparticles. Next, Luciana will move to University College London to join the group of Sabrina Simoncelli, together with Cecilia Zaza. Congratulations Lu! And good luck in London!
This past Saturday was the Night of the Museums! An annual event organized by the City of Buenos Aires, the Night of the Museums invites everyone to explore the city’s cultural treasures, with museums open from 7:00 PM to midnight, featuring special exhibitions and activities. This year, CIBION participated at the Science Cultural Center (Centro Cultural de [...]
The Latin Bioimaging (LABI) Meeting in Rio Janeiro was a nice opportunity to meet and discuss with friends and collaborators.

The Argentina Association of Microscopy (Asociación Argentina de Microscopía - SAMIC), established as non-profit organization in 1995 has been organizing a periodic meetings every two years, approximately, since 2009. This time, the SAMIC meeting was organized in Tucumán, and counted with the participation of numerous national and international colleagues. We would congratulate [...]
Thank you Fede for dropping by!
Dr. Julián Gargiulo and Dr. Ianina moved to the Institute of Nanosystems at the National University of San Martín (Buenos Aires, Argentina) to start a new group on nanophotonics. To support them and help them start with maximum momentum, we have lend them a full setup of topical manipulation and spectroscopy of nanoparticles. [...]
Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar, director of the Nano-Optics division of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, visited us and gave a talk about his latest research. Prof. Sandoghdar is one of the most important pioneers of nano-optics. He has made breakthrough experiments of single molecule spectrocopy and single nanoparticle detection [...]
Prof. Stefani was invited by the Molecular Fluorescence Subgroup of the Biophysical Society to give a lecture on "Fluorescence nanoscopy with sub-10 nm resolution" at the Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society 2024, held in Philadelphia from the 10th to 14th of February. Many thanks to the orgenizers Dr. Hugo Sanabria and Prof. [...]
