Paco had the honour to be invited to act as external (opponent in Iceland) for a viva at the University of Iceland. Priyanka Sahariah, from Prof Mar Másson’s group in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences defended her work “Chitosan Derivatives Mimicking Structural Motifs Present in Antimicrobial Peptides (Synthesis and Antibacterial Properties)”. Overall it was a great experience for Paco, who was able to enjoy not only great science, but some of the great things that Iceland has to offer.
