Through the Corfo "Crea y Valida" (Create and Validate) program, a high-impact collaboration between Usach’s Faculty of Medical Sciences, Cedenna, and Clínica Pasteur is advancing. This pioneering Chilean project focuses on the laboratory cultivation of corneal limbal stem cells—pluripotent-like cells capable of regenerating the ocular surface in patients suffering from severe corneal blindness.

Pesticides are vital for agricultural productivity, but their improper use poses risks to human health, the environment, and product quality, necessitating the development of new solutions.

Attendees were welcomed by the Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation, and Creation at Usach, Dr. Alberto Monsalve; the Director of Cedenna, Dr. Juliano Casagrande; and the Executive Director of the Cedenna Foundation, Dr. Dora Altbir. They were joined by the Head of the Science and Society Division of the Ministry of Science, Pablo Brugnoli, representing the government.

On Monday, April 14, the results of the Fondef project “Remote monitoring of wear in mining shovel GETs” were presented. The project was led by Dr. Sebastián Allende, a researcher at the Faculty of Science and the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Cedenna).

The initiative involved the companies Foremin and Dipper Parts, and was supported by the Vice-Rector’s Office for Research, Innovation and Creation (Vriic), through its Technology Management Department (DGT).

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Cedenna) has reached a new milestone in its contribution to Chilean scientific research by achieving the NCh-ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for its Nanobioassay Laboratory, granted by the Chilean National Institute for Standardization (INN).
