Ignasi Granero, Celular and molecular mechanobiology group In eukaryotic cells, the cell nucleus contains the DNA and directs the reaction to important signalling cascades, both biochemical and biomechanical. At the Cellular and Molecular Mechanobiology lab we study how forces and the physical characteristics of the cell environment affect cell behaviour and homeostasis. In my case, ... Read more
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
