Bioengineering against COVID-19

Vamos a por la COVID-19

En el IBEC estamos trabajando para descifrar cómo se desarrolla la Covid-19, para poder evitar su avance, encontrar tratamientos más eficaces y mitigar las secuelas de quienes ya la han padecido o la van a padecer.
Nuestro propósito es acelerar esta investigación, por eso esta vez te vamos a pedir algo inusual: "NO TE LAVES LAS MANOS", necesitamos que te impliques.

Researchers uncover the reason for “Living wires” extraordinary electrical properties

July 20, 2021 July 20, 2021

An international study co-authored by IBEC’s researchers has identified nickel as a key conductive component in the wires found in cable bacteria. This ground-breaking finding, obtained by combining high-resolution microscopy, spectroscopy and chemical imaging, has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.

Cellular push and pull, a key to the body’s response to processes such as cancer

July 14, 2021 July 14, 2021

Researchers, led by Pere Roca-Cusachs at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) discover how force dynamics affect cells, and living tissues. The results give an insight into the critical mechanical processes that occur in different diseases such as cancer.

Benedetta Bolognesi and Ben Lehner win competitive funding to join forces against neurodegenerative diseases

July 21, 2021 July 22, 2021

The “la Caixa” Foundation will fund a large and innovative research project co-led by IBEC Junior Group Leader Benedetta Bolognesi and by ICREA research professor Ben Lehner at CRG, which aims to gain a better understanding of the genetic causes leading to neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers will combine deep mutagenesis and machine learning techniques to produce a “map of dementia” as a method to predict whether a person is more susceptible to suffer these diseases.

Samuel Sánchez’s Nanorobots against cancer will accelerate with support from the “La Caixa” Foundation

July 21, 2021 July 21, 2021

Samuel Sánchez and his team at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), earned the competitive call CaixaResearch for Health Research to develop nanorobots against bladder cancer. Sánchez, a pioneer in the field of self-propelled nanorobots, proposes to move in this way towards solutions against one of the most common, recurring and expensive forms of cancer to treat.
