Two IBEC projects win IGNITE funding from BIST
Two projects coordinated by IBEC group leaders have been successful in gaining funding through the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology’s IGNITE call, which promotes the initiation of new collaborations among BIST researchers and accelerate multidisciplinary research.
Two projects coordinated by IBEC group leaders have been successful in gaining funding through the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology’s IGNITE call, which promotes the initiation of new collaborations among BIST researchers and accelerate multidisciplinary research.The projects were two of just five that were selected in the 2017 call to be funded through IGNITE’s seed phase. The researchers will have eight months to develop them, after which, in a second phase, an additional award for a further 12 months is given to the two best projects from the five selected during the seed phase.
Observing photosynthesis is at the heart of the Quantum-controlled Single Protein Electron Transport (Q-SPET) project, coordinated by IBEC Group Leader and ICREA research professor Pau Gorostiza and Niek van Hulst at ICFO, which aims to measure quantum effects in photosynthetic protein complexes.
Training the next generation of experts in bio-orthogonal catalysis for cancer therapy
An IBEC group has been awarded EU funding to coordinate a project that aims to train through research a new generation of researchers in bio-orthogonal catalysis for cancer therapy. Thanks to the Marie Curie ITN funding, the twelve consortium members of the THERACAT European Training Network – located in Spain, The Netherlands, Switzerland, UK and Israel – will be able to provide researchers with state-of-the-art multidisciplinary scientific training in the field of bio-orthogonal catalysis.
