NIB Info Day for Master Students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana under the supervision of Prof. Irena Mlinaric-Rascan

🌟 Exciting Science at the National Institute of Biology! 🌟

The NESTOR Project on nanozymes was presented to students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana, at the National Institute of Biology (NIB)—a partner in this groundbreaking initiative! 🧪✨ This cutting-edge research explores the potential of nanozymes—innovative nanomaterials mimicking enzyme activity—to revolutionize medicine, biotechnology, and environmental protection.

🎓 The event at NIB sparked curiosity and inspired the next generation of scientists to explore the fascinating world of nanotechnology and its limitless applications.

💡 Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to innovation with #NESTORProject!
