Bruno Sarmento elected Secretary of the Controlled Release Society

Researcher Bruno Sarmento, leader of the research group «Nanomedicines & Translational Drug Delivery», was recently elected Secretary of the Board of Directors of the largest international scientific society in the area of controlled drug release systems - the Controlled Release Society.

After having been president of the Nanomedicine and Nanoscale Drug Delivery Focus Group, vice-president of the Iberian Chapter, and elected Director at Large of the same society in 2021, he has now been promoted to the position of Secretary, which is a position in the executive committee of the society.

For Bruno Sarmento, occupying the position of Secretary of this scientific society is “an opportunity to contribute to strengthening the area of controlled drug release in the international panorama of biomedical and pharmaceutical research”. This election, he adds, “represents recognition of the journey made by the Controlled Release Society and the impact of its promotion, dissemination and dissemination activities on the Society and its members. It also means recognition of your research group and the institutions to which it is affiliated”.
