01/04/2025: More funding from Europe!!!
PiMPaM participates in a MSCA Industrial Network through the project UP2MEM (Materials UP-cycling TO fabricate advanced MEMbrane technologies for water and food industries: towards zero waste and a circular economy). In this network, 9 countries, 11 Universities, and 14 companies will participate in a project of 4.5 M€ in which 15 PhD students will be involved.
1 PhD student will join PiMPaM group, directly supervised by Mario Borlaf (PI), with the senior members Sonia Bruña and Rubén Mas both participating as mentors.
The Network is coordinated by the researcher Víctor M. Candelario, from Universidad de Sevilla (US).
01/03/2025: New funding.
Mario Borlaf (PI) and Rubén Mas will participate in one of the recommended projects from the M-Era.Net 2024 call: “Innovation in complex structures combining 3D Microvilli-based materials and active coating and interfaces to disrupt high-capacity filtration systems” (CERMIC)
PiMPaM is recognized as consolidated research group in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
Jordi García-Antón (UAB):
and sensing applications"
5 days of chemistry and fun with old and new frineds in this excellent congress.
A 5-year Ramón y Cajal excellence contract has been awarded to Mario Borlaf. This is an important achievement that we will celebrate together!
Arnau Carné (UAB/ICN2):
Porous nanoparticles with molecular reactivity"
PiMPaM members and some friends (out of the picture) enjoyed a nice afternoon of "pinchos" and "Paella". Unfortunately, Alicia was not able to come. We all send you lots of strength and encouragement.
We have just been awarded a project presented in the last call for "Proyectos Generación de Conocimiento" from the Spanish government. In PHOTOCOF4WATER (ref. PID2022-141016OB-I00) we will carry out the synthesis and characterization of new covalent organic framework type materials, and we will study their applications for the photoremediation of contaminated water. More Science is coming!
Alberto brilliantly presented the work that has made during the last years. Excellent work, presentation and experience!!
On 24th April 2023 we signed our first contract with an industrial partner. The company Galenicum trusted us to be one of their academic collaborators.
