Pharmacy UGM – On Thursday (20/2), the Faculty of Pharmacy UGM successfully held a Guest Lecture titled “Subnanoparticles and Their Applications,” delivered by Dr. Augie Atqa from the University of Tokyo. The event took place at the 8th-floor Auditorium, APSLC Building, Faculty of Pharmacy UGM, and was attended by students from the Pharmacy, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering programs. This guest lecture was organized to provide insights into the latest research, innovations in pharmaceutical and chemical sciences, and opportunities for further study at the University of Tokyo.
The lecture focused on the latest topic of sub nanoparticles, which are particles smaller than typical nanoparticles. In this highly anticipated session, Dr. Augie presented the latest developments in subnanoparticle research and its potential applications in various fields, including pharmacy, chemistry, and chemical engineering. A deep understanding of sub nanoparticles is becoming increasingly crucial for students and researchers in developing impactful research in the future, especially in addressing challenges in healthcare, energy, and the environment.
Dr. Augie explained how sub nanoparticles could be used in various innovations, such as more efficient drug delivery, more selective chemical reaction catalysis, and the development of advanced materials for various industrial applications. He also revealed that sub nanoparticle-based technologies have great potential in improving therapeutic effectiveness, synthesis efficiency of compounds, and the creation of new materials with unique properties.
Furthermore, during this session, Dr. Augie shared his experiences throughout his studies. The guest lecture also discussed academic mobility opportunities for students who want to continue their studies abroad, particularly at the University of Tokyo. The participants’ enthusiasm was palpable throughout the lecture, with many questions and discussions emerging, both about the potential and applicability of sub nanoparticle technology and opportunities for further study at the University of Tokyo.
This event aligns with several goals in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in terms of innovation and sustainable infrastructure (SDG 9), good health and well-being (SDG 3), quality education (SDG 4), and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17). The development of sub nanoparticles, which can enhance medical therapy efficiency and energy technology, holds great potential in creating environmentally friendly and affordable solutions for society. Additionally, the international collaboration between UGM’s Faculty of Pharmacy and the University of Tokyo strengthens the exchange of knowledge and innovation, which is expected to support the quality of education and ultimately impact health and well-being.
