Clinical and bioengineering researchers accelerate together towards the medicine of the future
The Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) intensify their collaboration to face health challenges. With the last translational conferences, both institutions reinforce the alliance signed in 2012 to address, among others, infectious, neurodegenerative diseases, rare diseases, tissue regeneration, pediatric cancer or Parkinson’s.

New molecules allow to switch on and off neuronal circuits using light
Researchers from IBEC, in collaboration with an international team, describe the first molecules capable of regulate glycine receptors with light: Glyght and Azo-NZ1. The new molecules are a promising way to study neuronal circuits, to develop drug-based phototherapies non-invasively, and to understand neurological disorders related with the incorrect functioning of glycine receptors, as hyperekplexia, epilepsy and autism.
The brain can teach artificial intelligence a lesson or two: the neural mechanism of autonomous learning uncovered by researchers at IBEC
