Chris Adams, a second year PhD student in Dr Divya Chari's laboratory, won the Journal of Materials Chemistry prize for 'Best Presentation on a Translational Topic' at the 4th joint conference of the Doctoral Training Centre in Regenerative Medicine in Sheffield last week.

His talk was entitled 'Modulation of magnetite content and applied magnetic fields enables high efficiency labelling of neural stem cells with polymeric magnetic particles'. It described a collaborative study between Dr Chari's laboratory and chemists based in the United States and Edinburgh, using biocompatible iron oxide particles to label neural transplant populations for imaging and cell-targeting applications. The meeting was attended by researchers and students from Loughborough, Nottingham, Keele, Sheffield, York and Leeds Universities.
