  • An Important Recognition for Prof. Fabricio Bisogno

    An Important Recognition for Prof. Fabricio Bisogno

    We are pleased to share that, since January 2025, Prof. Fabricio Bisogno has been invited to join the Editorial Board of ChemCatChem, published by Wiley-VCH GmbH, a company of John Wiley & Sons, Inc..

    This appointment represents an important recognition of his academic and scientific career, as well as his valuable contributions to the fields of catalysis and chemical research. His incorporation into the editorial board of such a prestigious international journal also strengthens the visibility and international projection of our research group within the scientific community.

    We warmly congratulate Prof. Fabricio Bisogno on this well-deserved achievement!

    A Journey of LU.M.EN-Lab at V-SILAByB 2024

    Members of our laboratory participated in the 5th Latin American Symposium on Biocatalysis and Biotransformations (V-SILAByB 2024), held in Montevideo, Uruguay, where they shared with the scientific community the latest advances developed in the field.

    The team, composed of Lucía Urban, Lorenzo Cerutti-Serra, Sofía Caby, Fabrizio Politano, Gabriela Oksdath-Mansilla, and Fabricio Bisogno, delivered three oral presentations and one poster presentation, highlighting the quality and scope of the research carried out by the group.

    In addition, Prof. Fabricio Bisogno was specially invited to deliver a lecture at the Symposium, a recognition of his outstanding career and contributions to the field of biocatalysis and biotransformations.

    🏆 Furthermore, Lorenzo Cerutti-Serra received the award for Best Oral Presentation, recognizing the excellence and impact of his work.

  • The LUMEN – Lab TEAM in The Science Week 2024!

    The LUMEN – Lab TEAM in The Science Week 2024!

    The LU.M.EN – Lab team participated with great enthusiasm in the 2024 Science Week organized by FCQ-UNC, an event dedicated to science communication, innovation, and the exchange of knowledge among researchers, students, and the community.

    During the event, the team presented various projects and experiences related to technological research and interdisciplinary development, creating a collaborative learning environment and bringing science closer to new audiences. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the laboratory’s areas of work and take part in interactive activities.

    Participation in Science Week 2024 reaffirms LU.M.EN – Lab’s commitment to education, innovation, and the promotion of science as a driving force for social and technological transformation.

    A special recognition to Florencia Cavallaro, Nicolás Rossi, Lydia Bouchet, and Juan P. Colomer for their outstanding representation. Congratulations!

  • “Light and Chemistry”: Interactive Science to Discover Photochemical Phenomena

    “Light and Chemistry”: Interactive Science to Discover Photochemical Phenomena

    LU.M.EN-Lab has developed “Light and Chemistry,” an engaging and experimental initiative designed to bring science closer to the community through interactive experiences.

    Led by researcher Daniel Caminos, the activity invites participants to explore various photochemical phenomena, such as light absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence, and photoinduced reactions. Through explanatory panels and a 50 x 40 cm dark box equipped with LED lighting (RGB + 390 nm UV) and solutions of photoactive compounds, attendees can directly observe and experiment with different types of light and their effects.

    The project was developed for the Interactive Science Museum (MCI) of the Faculty of Chemical Sciences (FCQ) and has been featured at various science outreach events, including the “Week of Light” (Plaza Cielo y Tierra, 2022), as well as Winter Break activities at the FCQ from 2022 to the present. It also takes part in the “Night of the Museums” as part of the initiatives organized by the MCI-FCQ.

    With a participatory approach, “Light and Chemistry” establishes itself as a key tool for promoting interest in science and fostering learning through experimentation.
