Nanomalaria group: 20 years at IBEC Xavier Fernàndez-Busques, group leader of the Nanomalaria group at IBEC We will start by briefly looking at the origins of our group back in 2001 as part of IBEC’s embryo, the Research Center for Bioelectronics and Nanobioscience. Our current activities integrate two decades of cumulative research oriented to the ... Read more
Electrochemically Gated Charge Transport in Redox Proteins and Photosynthetic Complexes Pau Gorostiza, group leader of the Nanoprobes and nanoswitches group at IBEC Interprotein electron transport is an essential process in cell respiration and photosynthesis. It takes place between redox proteins and complexes, and it displays an outstanding efficiency and environmental adaptability. Although the biochemistry of ... Read more

Development of biohybrid and bioinspired microrobots toward biomedical applications Veronika Magdanz, Smart Nano-Bio-Devices Autonomous motion and precise control on the microscale is one of the main challenges in developing non-invasive medical microrobots. In this seminar, I present my approaches of how to develop artificial, biomimetic and biohybrid microrobots. We can be inspired by nature's solutions ... Read more
Peptide based nanomaterials with life-like functions Mohit Kumar, Molecular Bionics group at IBEC Chemists' curiosity to create life de novo has sought inspiration from biological systems. In nature, self-assembled nanostructures constantly form and degrade which provides unique features like on-demand function, adaptation, temporal and spatial control. Such processes are enabled by the metabolism and the ... Read more
Bio-inspired soft matter at the service of interactive biointerfaces and synthetic cells Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Group Leader, DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials Nature achieves unmatched functionality by the self-assembly of (macro)molecular building blocks in a hierarchical manner. All information necessary for the function is encoded at the molecular level. Unraveling such blueprints serves as a powerful ... Read more
