Josep Samitier and the “Science Law” in the media
IBEC in the Media
“Cellular push and pull”, protagonist also in the media
Researchers led by Pere Roca-Cusachs appear in different media for their study published in the prestigious journal “Nature Communications” that discovers how force dynamics affect cells, and living tissues.
The intestinal organoids hit the media
The group led by Xavier Trepat at IBEC, together with Marino Arroyo, associate researcher at IBEC, and other international collaborators have developed intestinal organoids and measured cellular forces in order to decipher how the inner wall of this vital organ folds and moves.
Controlling brain states with light
A study led by researchers from IBEC and IDIBAPS achieves, for the first time, the control of brain state transitions using a molecule responsive to light.
Machine learning applied to microscopy accelerates image processing
IBEC researchers were able to drastically reduce the microscopy images processing time using machine learning tools. By using this new technique, they obtained, in only few seconds, a map of the cellular biochemical composition.
A drone that improves odour management in water treatment plants
IBEC researchers together with the company Depuración de Aguas del Mediterráneo (DAM) develop a drone able to simulate the olfactory system and to detect, monitor and identify the bad odours produced by the waste water treatment plants.
IBEC at National Geographic
Josep Samitier, Nuria Montserrat and Samuel Sánchez’s biobots appear in the National Geographic documentary “Ciencias de la vida: Trasplantes” for scientific innovation that addresses the growing demand for organs.
Supporting science is not a luxury, it is an investment for the future
Josep Samitier, director of IBEC and president of the Catalan Association of Research Entities (ACER) appears in various media talking about the precariousness of resources in the research world.
Experts aim to promote biomedical research
Josep Samitier, Teresa Sanchis and Nuria Montserrat highlight the advances made in nanomedicine and bioengineering for health in the XIV Annual Conference of Biomedical Research Technology Platforms, and support the voices that recommend increasing resources for the entire sector of basic and clinical research.
