Elena Atrián Blasco (Zaragoza, 1988).Doctor in Inorganic Chemistry.She will attend the Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates next June.In June she will attend a date that anyone would want to attend, the Lindau Meeting of the Nobel Laureates.It all started two years ago.I have enjoyed a Marie Curie scholarship since 2019 at the INMA (Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragon).Calls went out to attend these meetings with Nobel Laureates, and as my fellowship supervisor, Scott Mitchell, had participated in a previous edition of the meeting, he encouraged us.In addition to encouragement, there would be a selective process.Sure, the European Commission.Once selected by this organization, we were evaluated by the organizing committee of the meetings.It was to attend the July 2020 meeting but, of course, with the pandemic situation, it was cancelled.Some 'online' sessions were held during the summer of 2020 and in 2021. Finally, we will participate in person in 2022, specifically from June 26 to July 2.You are the only Aragonese in this appointment with so much pedigree.There are more Spaniards.Aragonese working in Aragon, I think I'm the only one.As for the meetings, they consist of different activities: from master classes of the Nobel Prize winners, lunches and breakfasts with the Nobel Prize winners in which 10 or 12 young researchers will be present to chat, discussion panels, scientific walks with the Nobel prize winners.There is also a concert and a cruise on Lake Constance.The cruise on Lake Constance would be worth going even without the Nobel Prizes...LOL!Of course, it's beautiful.I'll fly to Zurich and then take the train to Lindau.In addition, I will be with people from many countries.I love working in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.The scholarship I had was for two years and now I find myself with an extension that the CSIC has provided me.His thing is inorganic chemistry related to biology.Exact.I have developed projects related to metals and biology: from gold complexes to fight cancer, at the ISQCH in Zaragoza;in Toulouse, in a project on the role of metal ions in the development of Alzheimer's;and now I am investigating metal compounds with an inorganic base that have antibacterial activity, above all to prevent the formation of biofilm or biofilms on the surface.The dental bacterial plaque that causes caries.Also, on surfaces such as medical implants.Is it true that there are also beneficial bacteria?Of course.We can also have benign and protective biofilm on the teeth, intestines, skin, as long as the bacteria that form it do not cause disease.How many bacteria can there be?Millions and millions.Many more than we imagine.It is a microscopic world that is difficult to get used to.A sample that we have in the laboratory, which may be small in volume, involves millions and trillions of bacteria.We use the scanning electron microscope.With it we get some very large increases.A bacterium measures between 1 and 2 micrometers.A micrometer is a thousand nanometers.A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter.A million nanometers is a millimeter, therefore.That's how it is.The impact of Nanoscience on research is impressive.It will not stop surprising us for a long time, since the physical and chemical characteristics of materials change a lot in this dimension.This week there is talk in all the media about monkeypox.You who are going to be close to the Nobel Prize, do you sense any future Nobel Prize focused on infections as a global risk in the world?I dare not comment on what I do not know.And about the next pandemic?I do think there.I suspect that the next pandemic will be about antibiotic-resistant bacteria.© HERALDO DE ARAGON EDITORA, SLU Telephone 976 765 000 / - Pº.Independencia, 29, 50001 Zaragoza - CIF: B99288763 - Registered in the Mercantile Registry of Zaragoza in Volume 3796, Book 0, Folio 177, Section 8, Sheet Z-50564 Any reproduction without written permission from the company is prohibited for the purposes of the article 32.1, second paragraph, of the Intellectual Property Law
