Dr Gloria Lesly Jimenez Miranda from the Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics at AGH University is working on innovative nanoparticles that could advance optogenetics, one of the most promising fields in modern neuroscience, recognised with the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Optogenetics uses light-sensitive proteins to modulate the activity of specific cells, including nerve cells. The purpose of Dr Jimenez’s research is to develop nanoparticles that can deliver light to these proteins, opening new possibilities for precise control of neural activity.
The AGH University of Krakow has just started the new academic year, the 108th in the University’s history. “Every inauguration is a very special moment for our community. It is a time to celebrate new beginnings, but also to look a little further ahead than just the coming months. As the world around us continues to change, we reflect on how the University should respond to them,” emphasised Professor Jerzy Lis, AGH University Rector. The ceremony was attended by Dr Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, who delivered the inaugural lecture.
