Applied Sciences Webinar | Plasma-Chemical Processes for Combined Cancer Therapies, 16 December 2024

A message from the webinar Chairs:
We are pleased to invite you to participate in an in-depth webinar “Plasma-chemical Processes for Combined Cancer Therapies”.

This event is organized within the framework of the projects entitled “Bi-functioNal plasma-treated solutions as a new thErapeutiC Tool for cAnceR (NECTAR)”, funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU instrument through the project PRIN PNRR 2022-P2022F4P8P, and “COld atmospheric plasma therapy to target head and neck Tumours by A multImodaL approach (Cocktail)”, also funded by NextGenerationEU (MUR, Fondo Promozione e Sviluppo, DM 737/2021—CUP number: D75F21003210001). The webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of how plasma technology is being integrated as an adjunctive tool to enhance the efficacy of conventional cancer treatments. Leading experts will present the latest research, discuss clinical implications, and explore the future potential of plasma applications in oncology. This webinar is tailored for healthcare professionals, researchers, researchers, chemists, physicists, and engineers working in the field of plasma medicine.
