Fábio Martins, a PhD student at BioSIM, was honored with the Best Oral Presentation Award at the Biophysics Festival – the 4th Meeting of Young Biophysicists, held on May 9–10, 2024, at the University of Beira Interior (UBI) in Covilhã, Portugal.
His presentation, titled “Exploring pH-Dependent Dynamics of Doxorubicin Delivery Using Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations,”showcased the research developed by Fábio at BioSIM on using computational simulations to elucidate the pH-sensitive mechanisms of drug loading and release on carbon nanotube carriers. This work highlights the potential of molecular dynamics in advancing targeted drug delivery strategies.
The PYBphy is an affiliated group of the Portuguese Biophysics Society, with the intent of representing the young researchers (undergraduate, graduated, PhD students, and also early post-docs) working in Biophysics. The main goal of the Biophysics Festival is to dynamize and unite the biophysical community and diffuse biophysics towards society and the general scientific community
