NanoBio Journal Club
This online journal club started in March 2020 by Prof. Wilson Poon and Dr. Shrey Sindhwani during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was initially intended for a small group of affiliated laboratories. However, with encouragement from the online nanomedicine community, it evolved into a public series that continues to run and gives trainees an opportunity to present their own work or studies conducted by others. Three goals were established at the outset:
- To allow speakers to select seminal papers to re-evaluate evidence of key concepts that have shaped the field and address fundamental gaps in knowledge
- To expose our audience to the latest work involving technologies and techniques that are not commonly used in nanomedicine but could add significant value with the hope that this scope broadens our understanding of future nanomedicine studies and enables researchers to effectively communicate with the public
- To have rigorous discussion after each presentation, delving deep into the results and methodology that support the claims
