The Nanobioengineering group led by Dr. Josep Samitier at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to develop a research and development project on water quality monitoring. The contract will be within the framework of development and characterization of quality water sensors. Funded by “Fundació Bosch i Gimpera”
Senior researcher at the Biosensors for Bioengineering Research Group
Application Deadline: 24/06/2022

The Biosensors for Bioengineering Group is looking for a senior researcher to develop a project in collaboration with a company. The contract will be within the framework of a collaborative project with a company whose objective is to develop new biomaterials for stem cell implantations
In our lab we use bioengineering methods to create 3D environments that support embryonic development outside of the mother uterus. Our systems are accessible to imaging tools which allow us to interrogate the genetics, metabolomics and mechanics of the embryo in a high throughput manner. Using our systems we are capable to (i) improve embryo culture conditions and (ii) diagnose embryos with improved implantation potential.
Mechanosensing: harnessing nuclear mechanics to understand health and disease
A study led by IBEC researchers, and published in Nature Cell Biology, shows that applying mechanical force to the cell nucleus affects the transport of proteins across the nuclear membrane. In doing so, this controls cellular processes and could play a key role in various diseases, such as cancer. This entails a novel approach to understanding aspects of cancer invasion and metastasis, opening the door to potential new techniques for diagnosis and therapy.
IBEC joins EBRAINS: an international platform to support brain research
IBEC is the newest associate member from EBRAINS, an International not-for-profit association born at Human Brain Project (HBP), with, by, and for researchers. Its purpose is to create and coordinate an international infrastructure to promote brain research, providing digital tools and services as software, hardware, consultancy, and facilities to support researchers to face challenges in brain research and brain-inspired technology development.
Mechanical signals in the development of the cerebral cortex
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), coordinated by principal investigator José Antonio del Río, are in the media for a study in collaboration with the University of Barcelona (UB) that describes the role of mechanical signals in the formation of the cerebral cortex.
Challenges and opportunities in biomedical research in the media
The XV Annual Conference of Biomedical Research Technology Platforms, in which Josep Samitier took part, is in the media because of the great revolution that biomedical research is undergoing thanks to new knowledge at the tissue, cellular and genomic levels.
