Alvarez indicated the different types of nanotechnology that can be seen and highlighted the area in which he works: biotechnology. He highlighted the new tools that can be created for the field of medicine, and the opportunities it can present for the field of health. Among other applications, it will be possible to "find new systems for early diagnosis, therapy systems such as using nanoparticles to kill cancer cells without damaging others and also systems for cell regeneration, such as implants or any wound subject ".

Science Week activities continue this Tuesday with the lecture research Infrastructures in Europe.” In addition, hands-on workshops, exhibitions, and guided tours of the Museum of Natural Sciences and theresearch center (CIMA) will continue to be offered. On November 15, the workshops “Toca la Chemistry and “Toca la Biología” will take place, aimed at middle schools, high school diploma schools, and high school diploma. Furthermore, coinciding with the patron saint day, the submission special awards for doctorate, Degree licentiate degree the School of Science.
