Experts and scientists commit to establishing nanoscience network in Vietnam
At the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) in Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh Province, experts and scientists gathered for the second international conference on Nanolife Science: Nanobiology, Biophysics, and Computation (NanoBioCoM2024). With over 100 scientists from 19 countries in attendance, the conference focused on advancing research and collaboration in nanotechnology in Vietnam.
Professor Tran Thanh Van, Chairman of the Vietnam Meeting Science Association, emphasized that NanoBioCoM is a key initiative led by Vietnamese scientists working globally to introduce the emerging field of nano-life sciences in Vietnam.
The three-day event provided a platform for researchers to present their work in nano-biotechnology, biophysics, and computational methods, fostering connections within the Vietnamese research community both domestically and internationally.
During an interview, Associate Professor Ngo Xuan Kien from Kanazawa University in Japan highlighted the growing significance of nanotechnology in modern society, with applications spanning medicine, biology, agriculture, environmental science, and food safety. He noted the increasing use of artificial intelligence and computational science in exploring nanomaterials more deeply.
Kien expressed optimism that the NanoBioCoM workshops would drive progress in biophysics research in Vietnam and lead to the establishment of a professional community focused on the use of advanced microscopic technologies in nanotechnology research.
The conference also underscored plans to build a network of Vietnamese-origin scientists in nanotechnology, connecting them with their global peers to foster collaboration and development in this critical field, helping to advance nanotechnology research and education in Vietnam.
