1 INTRODUCTION
The Second Workshop in Translational Nanomedicine (2WTN) was organized in the
central building of the Technological Park of Guipuzcoa, located in San Sebastian close
to CIDETEC’s facilities.
The workshop took place on 18th-19th of September, 2017. It included several sessions
about different aspects of Translational Nanomedicine, and also a visit to the GMP Pilot
Plant that has been built during the course of the NanoPilot project. (See final program in
Annex 1).
As mentioned in D3.3 (1st Workshop on Translational Nanomedicine), during the
development of a nanopharmaceutical from R&D laboratories to the first clinical trial,
several challenges at different stages related with different fields have been identified3,4
(characterization, regulatory science, production…). Together with the goal of
disseminating NanoPilot project, the idea for the first workshop was to give a general
overview of these challenges, while this second workshop has been organized with two
main objectives:
1. Going into further details of all those keys aspects or issues with the help of some
experts in each of the fields involved in the development of a new
nanopharmaceutical.
2. Making nanomedicine scientific community aware of NanoPilot GMP Pilot Plant that
will be operating for third parties in the future at CIDETEC.
To accomplish those goals a total of 24 speakers, currently working in nanomedicine
development at different stages or fields, were invited to present case-studies and/or
share their experience with the nanomedicine scientific community. Additionally, a
website for this 2WTN was created and the event was opened to the public by previous
registration. Key companies and research groups, considered relevant in the field of
nanomedicine, were individually informed about the event, encouraging them to attend.

2 SUMMARY OF THE EVENT
From 52 people initially registered to attend the workshop, finally a total of 40 people
attended from different universities and companies. Those 40 people, together with the
speakers (24) and some partners of NanoPilot project and CIDETEC personnel (10),
made a total of 74 people taking part in the event.
The event was divided in 5 different sessions, each one focused in one specific aspect
about translational nanomedicine:
Session 1: Research in Nanomedicine in early stage of development: how to be
prepared for translational research
Session 2: Microfluidics technology applied to nanoformulations
Session 3: Research in Nanomedicine in early stage of development (II)
Session 4: Advanced Characterization Techniques
Session 5: Nanomedicine and regulatory environment for nano-investigational
medicinal products.
During each session, the speakers gave a 15 minutes talk followed by questions and
discussions from the audience.
Apart from those general sessions the workshop included four additional talks of 30 min
each:
Opening of the first day, by Prof. Abhay Pandit (National University of Ireland,
Galway)
Opening of the second day, by Patrick Boisseau (Nanomedicine Research in
CEA, France)
Closing the second day, Dr. Simo Schwartz (CIBBIM_Nanomedicine, Spain)
Closing the workshop and giving a start to the Pilot Plant visits, Dr. Iraida Loinaz
(CIDETEC_Nanomedicine, Spain)
Additionally, a demonstration of microfluidics was done during coffee breaks and lunch,
where MICRONIT and CHEMTRIX showed their equipment and capacities.
Finally, at the end of the second day attendees had the opportunity to visit NanoPilot
GMP Pilot Plant in small groups (6-8 people each).
A video summarizing the course of the event has been also uploaded in that website
(accessible also from Nanopilot website) and can be accessed from this link:

In the next sections the content of each session is briefly presented. Those
presentations that have been authorized by the corresponding authors to be published
will be uploaded in the 2WTN website.

His research supports industry from basic scientific research, through translational
preclinical and clinical development, into regulatory and commercialization readiness.
He gave a talk titled: “Being a Good Guest: The Host Implant Paradigm” where he
pointed out and shared some interesting thoughts about the potential pharmaceutical
effect of the carriers themselves, something that often is not even considered.
