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

The event is in the framework of an alliance between the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS), a research institute of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The event aims to identify synergies and potential for collaboration between IBEC groups and the researchers of ICMS. It is the 4th edition of ... Read more
Registration is now open for the 14th IBEC Symposium on Bioengineering for Regenerative Therapies The 14th IBEC Symposium will focus on one of our three main areas of application of research at IBEC: Regenerative Therapies. Although this year the pandemic situation has improved, we still believe it is not safe enough to organize the symposium ... Read more
¡Adéntrate en la nano-escala: descubre y juega con el Microscopio de Fuerza Atómica! Desde que en la década de los 80 se inventara el microscopio de sonda de barrido, han sido muchos y muy relevantes los descubrimientos que estas técnicas han proporcionado al conocimiento científico. Aun hoy, es un instrumento capaz de detectar fenómenos increíbles que se dan en ... Read more

En el marc de la setmana de la ciència, us convidem a una jornada de portes obertes on podreu visitar els laboratoris ... Read more
Targeted protein degradation: genetic determinants and drug discovery opportunities Cristina Mayor-Ruiz, IRBarcelona Targeted protein degradation is a new therapeutic modality based on drugs that destabilize proteins by inducing their proximity to E3 ubiquitin ligases. Of particular interest are "molecular glue degraders": compounds that can degrade otherwise unligandable proteins by orchestrating direct interactions between target and E3. However, ... Read more
Assessment of trunk function in patients with spinal cord injury using electromyography and smartphone accelerometry Yolanda Castillo, Biomedical Signal Processing and Interpretation Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes motor and sensory impairment below the level of the injury, but also many other health problems. A common consequence of SCI is the lack of control over trunk ... Read more
