Life science research increasingly benefits from the support of specialized and sophisticated tools, including electron and optical microscopy, mass spectrometry, cell sorting, MRI, NMR and EPR, sequencing and computation.

Given the growing complexity of these technologies and the related analysis and interpretation of data, life science researchers often have to consult and collaborate with scientists with adequate technological skills. Such collaboration is therefore a key element for an effective use of technical resources in addressing biological and medical research issues.

This session aims to recount some successful experiences deriving from this type of collaborations and will focus on applications in research on cancer therapy, theranostics and toxicology of nanoparticles.
