Nanoscale imaging method shows electron transfer pathways
An IBEC group has developed a new imaging method that can characterize the conductance of single molecules, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms behind biological processes such as respiration, photosynthesis and repair.
Publishing in the journal Small, the Nanoprobes and Nanoswitches group describe a new way to observe conduction pathways in redox proteins and complexes – in which the transfer of electrons causes a change in oxidation – at the nanoscale.
IBEC researcher in Barcelona Global science session
IBEC’s Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group leader Elisabeth Engel was one of five scientific guests to take part in a round table session at yesterday’s annual general assembly of Barcelona Global at the PRBB.
Moderated by Barcelona Supercomputing Centre’s associated director Josep Maria Martorell, the session, “Barcelona on the Frontiers of Science”, looked at how Barcelona research is pushing global science forward, discussing advances and collaboration initiatives in emerging areas such as 3D printing.
Postdoctoral Fellowships Junior Leader “La Caixa” at IBEC
Application Deadline: 02/10/2017
The new postdoctoral fellowships programme, Junior Leader “la Caixa”, is aimed at hiring excellent researchers—of any nationality—who wish to continue their research career in Spanish territory on any discipline. Sponsored by Obra Social ”la Caixa”, the objectives of this program are to foster high-quality, innovative research in Spain and to support the best scientific talents by providing them with an attractive, competitive environment in which to conduct excellent research.
Second edition of BIYSC begins
For the second year, IBEC is taking part in the Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC 2017), an initiative organized by the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation to stimulate scientific talent among young people from all over the world.
This year’s BIYSC will be launched tonight at La Pedrera in a ceremony which includes a talk by IBEC group leader and ICREA research professor Samuel Sánchez.
“Diseñan microrobots que eliminan bacterias contaminantes del agua”
The press release about Samuel Sanchez’s recent paper in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that describes tiny robots that can remove disease-causing bacteria from water got coverage in La Vanguardia’s Big Vang section, rTVE and other outlets.
IBEC and Hospital Clinic move forward in 3D bioprinting with CaixaImpulse funding
IBEC and Hospital Clinic have joined forces in 3D bioprinting applied to cancer diagnostics to win funding from Caixaimpulse.
Core Facilities’ Mateu Pla Roca is the fifth IBEC researcher to win funding from the programme, an initiative of Obra Social “la Caixa” with Caixa Capital Risc, which aims to promote technology transfer in science. His project, “3D bioprinted array tissue-like cores: tissue-like controls for cancer diagnostics” (3DBIOcores), will be carried out in collaboration with Antoni Martinez, head of the histopathology service at Hospital Clinic.
IBEC research features in ChemComm’s “Emerging Investigators” issue
IBEC junior group leader Lorenzo Albertazzi is a contributor to the 2017 edition of ChemComm Emerging Investigators, which is published annually by the UK’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
Now in its seventh year, the special issue showcases research carried out by internationally recognised, up-and-coming scientists in the early stages of their independent careers, and who are making outstanding contributions to their respective fields.
