Lluis M. Mir, received the Giulio Milazzo award in Bioelectrochemistry 2021

Lluis M. Mir, DRCE emeritus at CNRS and member of the CNRS team in RISEUP consortium

Lluis M. Mir, DRCE emeritus at CNRS and member of the CNRS team in RISEUP consortium, received the Giulio Milazzo award in Bioelectrochemistry 2021 during the XXVIth International Symposium on Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics of the Bioelectrochemical Society on "Bioelectrochemistry for improved Life Quality" that was held online on 9-13th of May 2021 at Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

This award is attributed every two years since 2003. Other details at http://www.bioelectrochemical-soc.org/awards.php and http://www.bioelectrochemical-soc.org/awards-GiulioMilazzo.php.

Lluis M. Mir has been working, since 1985, in the understanding of the interactions of pulsed electric fields with biological cells or tissues, contributing to the development of cell electroporation and the medical applications of this technology, pioneering the therapeutic uses in Biology and Medicine.

He developed the antitumor electrochemotherapy, from the inception of the concept to the first pre-clinical and clinical trials in human and veterinary medicine. He also developed the electrotransfer of nucleic acids in vitro and in vivo, and co-authored the seminal publication on the use of Irreversible Electroporation as a means to ablate cancer or normal tissues.
