I am pleased to share that our project, “Development of Multimodal Polymersomes for Image-Guided Drug Delivery Applications (MULTIPOLE),” is one of 8 initiatives selected for funding under the TÜBİTAK 2531 Bilateral Cooperation Programme with the DAAD German Academic Exchange Service. ✨ 🚀 In this project, we will cooperate with Dr. Dietmar Appelhans from the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden (IPF) and strengthen our ongoing collaborations with Prof Brigitte Voit´s group at IPF. This cooperation will not only advance our research in theranostic nanocarriers but also support researcher mobility between #BINDLAB and #IPF. Additionally, this project will complement our TÜBİTAK 1004 project as part of the Nöroteknolojik Çözümler Platformu where we are developing multimodal nanocapsules for Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems for neuroimaging. Stay tuned for more updates from #BINDLAB! ✨

I've been informed that the IEEE Turkey Section AP/MTT/EMC/ED Joint Chapter has been honored with the 2024 IEEE AP-S Outstanding Chapter Award, securing 3rd place 🏆 Such great news! 🎉 Moreover, receiving it in the year of IEEE AP-S's 75th-anniversary celebration is truly delightful 🎈 I've chaired the chapter for over three years now. I want to thank my team for sharing this experience with me. I would like to thank the IEEE AP-S Chapter Activity Committee, especially Dr. Ing Habil Ajay Kumar Poddar for his continued support and IEEE AP-S Chapter Award Committee. Last but not the least, I'd like to thank my student Ada Yıldırım for her outstanding efforts. I believe this award wouldn't have been possible without her dedication. Overall, I'm delighted to have taken on this responsibility. We've had the opportunity to host great scientists, ignite interest in the field of electromagnetics among students and young scientists, and contribute to our society. Now, it's time to decide 🤷🏻♀️ What should I wear to the awards ceremony 😄 Decisions, decisions 😂 Let's head to Florence and enjoy the AP-S URSI Conference 🏛️🤓 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society IEEE Türkiye Section BOUNtenna IEEE APS/URSI 2024 Florence (IT)
