We are proud to have hosted in the University of the Basque Country the 6th Polyanalysis FORUM by Tosoh Bioscience!
A free symposium on polymer analysis emphasizing sustainable methods and materials, as well as biomedical applications. Hosted in Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain in collaboration with Prof. Haritz Sardon’s group. This free event offered a full day of inspiring presentations and the latest scientific updates from experts in academia, industry, and Tosoh.
Our international panel of renowned researchers covered various aspects of polymer design and characterization. PhD students and postdocs presented their research in a flash presentation within this distinguished panel. A final roundtable facilitated scientific discussions and collaborations.
Main speakers in the event were:
Holger Frey from Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, Mainz, Germany
Christopher Barner-Kowolik from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany
Frank Leibfarth from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
Marta Ximenis from University of the Basque Country, Spain
Fabienne Barroso from Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), Spain
Snežana Đorđević from Tosoh Bioscience GmbH, Belgium
Ane Olazabal from Polykey Polymers, Spain

After the success of 3Dam2025, we are proud to announce that preparations for the next edition is going on!
During the past months, we have been working with Riccardo Levato / Universiteit Utrecht, Emily Pentzer / Texas A&M University, Christophe Moser / EPFL and Dorleta Jimenez de aberasturi / CIC biomaGUNE to start shaping the new edition.
⚠️ Spoiler ⚠️
We will be back with 3Dam2027 in 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳, again in 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻!
I can’t express how excited and proud we are to see the event taking shape again!
We are working to provide you the most recent and valuable contributions on 3dam together with a special taste of the Basque Country.
Can’t wait to welcome you again 🧡

We are sad but proud to say goodbye to our great friend and PostDoc Gabriel.
We are already missing you and we wish you the best with your next adventures and researches!
Dr. Gabriel Perli is tenure-track researcher at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and former Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow at the University of the Basque Country. His research focuses on developing innovative organic chemistry approaches to enable new crosslinking and foaming reactions for the creation of sustainable and circular foams. He has authored several publications in high-impact journals in polymer science and materials chemistry, and is co-inventor on six patents, including one already licensed and two currently under negotiation in the field of circular foams. His work integrates synthetic innovation with process development, bridging fundamental research and industrial application. Within the project, Dr. Perli will contribute his expertise in the design, synthesis, and recycling of non-isocyanate polyurethane foams.
