EXCLUSIVE SPONSOR: OBJETIVES: This forthcoming 2012 year, the Institute of Materials Science “Nicolás Cabrera” will organize its XIX International School from July 15th to the20th. The 2012 Summer School will be focused on the fast developing research area of nanoparticles in Bio-Medicine. There is little doubt of the growing importance that fluorescent nanoparticles are achieving in modern biology and medicine. This is because they have recently emerged as incredible tools for imaging with potential applications in diagnosis, early detection, and treatment of various diseases. In addition, nanoparticles have also demonstrated the capacity of obtaining valuable information about cell dynamics via multiphoton fluorescence. The real development in this field hinges on the establishment of inter-disciplinary research groups and, thus, the simultaneous and complete understanding of different topics such as synthesis of novel nanoparticles, properties (optical, structural, magnetic, etc.) of nanoparticles, bio-compatibility of nanoparticles, interaction between cells and tissues with nanoparticles and development of new microscopy techniques. This multidisciplinary nature requires the creation of discussion forums in which ideas from senior researchers with diverse expertise and from different fields would be discussed and exchanged. At the same time, these discussion forums would also support the academic and scientific formation of early career researchers such as PhD students working on the fabrication, characterization or bio-medical applications of nanoparticles.
The main goal of the 2012 summer school is to bring together the most important scientific leaders of research groups from around the world and create an atmosphere of discussion in which both junior and senior researchers would participate in understanding the recent applications of nanoparticles in Bio-Medicine.
PROGRAM:
The program will include lectures on the following subjects
• Synthesis of novel bio-compatible nano-particles.
• Application of Nanotechnology to medicine: Nano-medicine.
• Optical, structural and magnetic properties of novel bio-compatible nanoparticles.
• Metallic nano-particles for bio-medical imaging.
• Rare earth doped nanoparticles for bio-medical imaging.
• Novel applications of Quantum Dots in bio-medical imaging.
• Cellular nano-thermometers.
• Fluorescent, metallic and magnetic nano-particles for controlled hyperthermia processes.
• Fluorescent nano-particles for dynamic cell imaging.
• Novel imaging techniques in biomedicine CONFIRMED SPEAKERS: Opening talk: Prof. P.N. Prasad (State University of New York at Buffalo, USA): Challenges and Opportunities at the Interface of Nanotechnology and Biomedicine

TOURIST INFOThe Summer Residence of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, located in Miraflores de la Sierra (La Cristalera) a nice mountain resort 50 km out of the city of Madrid. Residence "La Cristalera"
Please find below some travel information to reach the forthcoming Summer School Nicolas Cabrera which we hope will help you to plan your trip.
Arrival by plane:
You can reach Miraflores by taxi from the airport but this is an expensive choice (minimum 90.00 Euro, but please ask before for a price)
You can also take a taxi from the Airport to Plaza Castilla (approximate fare: 45.00 Euro) and then take a bus to Miraflores.
A good choice is taking Metro from Airport to Plaza Castilla and then a bus to Miraflores. At the airport, take Metro (underground), Line 8 (pink) to "Colombia" (3 stations). Transfer in Colombia to line 9 (purple) to "Plaza de Castilla" (3 stations). It should take about 25 minutes. You will find more info at the Metro webpage . In any case you can ask for a map of Metro for free when you buy a ticket.
Once you have reached Plaza Castilla there are a lot of bus stops between the two big inclined towers. Only one ( 725) goes to Miraflores de Sierra. Search number 725 (Madrid - Pza Castilla to Miraflores de la Sierra, Bustarviejo). Here you find a timetable of the bus 725 for Saturday and Sunday ( bottom part indicated in Spanish as "Sabados Laborables, Domingos y Festivos").
Taxi from Pza. Castilla to Miraflores costs minimum 60.00 Euro.
The trip to Miraflores de la Sierra takes approximately 60 minutes and departure is aprox. each hour from 7.30 a.m. till 23.15 p.m. Your stop is the next after "Soto del Real".
One way ticket to Miraflores by bus 725 costs 2.75 Euro.
Arrival by train:
Coming from the North, the train station is usually Chamartin. From Chamartin, you can take the Metro (line 10: dark blue) to Plaza de Castilla but it is only one station and it is also easy to walk from Chamartin to Pza Castilla. If you arrive at Atocha, you can take the Metro (line 1: light blue, 13 stations) to Plaza Castilla and follow the above mentioned instructions for the bus.
Arrival by car:
Take the big periferial highway M-40. If you come from the south, Portugal, or the Zaragoza Highways, take direction North (N-I). If you come from the Burgos Highway (N-I) take the direction M-607 Tres Cantos- Colmenar Viejo. Go out of the M-40 to the M-607 Highway towards Tres Cantos-Colmenar viejo. When the Highway ends (roughly 30 km) take the direction Miraflores. After 30 km you will reach the village. Once there, follow the signs towards La Cristalera, or Puerto de la Morcuera. One km outside the village you will find the entrance to the residence on your left (but watch out for it since sign is not a big one and may be missed )
How to reach La Cristalera Residence:
La Cristalera is located at the route from Miraflores to Puerto de la Morcuera, one kilometer distance outside Miraflores. Miraflores de la Sierra is a vacations resort located at the mountains in the North of Madrid. There is no bus service between Miraflores and La Cristalera. In case of emergency, you can phone to the Residence by phones indicated below.
In any case, PLEASE NOTIFY US ABOUT YOUR ARRIVAL DATE AND TIME. We will try to organize transportation from the bus stop to the Residence for you, so that you can reach the residence without too much walking.
Telephone numbers of the residence for international calls are:
(+34 91) 844 3920 / (+34 91) 844 3989.
Also, please note that accomodation is in a shared double room (except invited speakers), so please do not forget to notify us your preferences to share the room. If you plan to come with somebody else who would NOT attend the conference, please notify us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as we would need to search for another accommodation for you.
