On Thursday, January 29, an international seminar titled “From Agricultural Waste to Planetary Health: A Sustainable Nanosensor Platform for Simultaneous Dual Sensing of Agrochemical Pollutants” was held at the Yeh Kuo-Shii Global Friendship Center on Nagasaki University’s Bunkyo Campus. The seminar welcomed Associate Professor Mahmoud Hamed El-Maghrabey of Mansoura University, Egypt, who is an alumnus of Nagasaki University’s doctoral program, as the guest speaker.
During the seminar, Dr. El-Maghrabey presented research on nanomaterials made from banana peels that can simultaneously detect pesticides and heavy metals. Faculty, staff, and students from a diverse range of fields attended the seminar, engaging in a lively question-and-answer session.
At the subsequent networking session, participants had the opportunity to interact in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
This event was hosted by the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Pharmaceutics, in the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagasaki University, and was co-organized by NUGAN (Nagasaki University Global Alumni Network). NUGAN will continue to organize and support similar international events in the future.
This invitation was sponsored by the International Collaborative Research Support Program for Alumni Networks, and the FY 2026 call for applications is now open.
