Gianluca Toniolo has been awarded a prize from the European Young Chemists Network (EYCN) for the best overall presentation at the COST Action CM1201 meeting  in Grenoble, France recently.

Gianluca is an Early Stage Researcher funded by the European Training Network ClickGene and a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Chatgilialoglu at the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology “Demokritos”, Athens. His thesis focuses on Receptor activating polymer coated transfection agents.

The ClickGene team congratulates Gianluce on his initial research findings and the ways in which he presented these to the large audience of scientists and industry representatives.

The European Young Chemists’ Network (EYCN) is the young division of EuCheMS (European Chemical Sciences). It has been active since 2006 and its goal is to promote Chemistry in Europe, as well as to give new educational and networking opportunities to students and professionals. The EYCN was able to arrange a collaboration with the COST Action within the H2020 and could attend the meeting in Grenoble (France).
