I liked ICONAN 2017 very much, I met interesting people in my area of interest and I found a lot of new protocols that I can use in my lab.
Ms. Geanina VoicuWas great to see so many disciplines coming together at #ICONAN17 #Barcelona to share #biomedical #nanotechnology research. Learned a lot! https://t.co/LebBuGDzEE
