IBEC in the Media

Pau Gorostiza’s work is included in a extensive article about the science of light in the magazine Muy Interesante this month.

IBEC group leader Xavier Trepat was interviewed on science programme Lab 24 on RTVE’s 24-hour channel on Sunday at 22:00, explaining why it’s so important that we understand cell movement and the forces that act on our cells.

El País has published a “Ciencia en Español” video interview with Samuel Sanchez featuring footage of his nanorobots, which can be seen whizzing through through liquid using the expulsion of oxygen bubbles as propulsion.

A video about Samuel Sanchez and his work is the latest addition to the El País/Vodafone One video archive. The collection helps promote the public understanding of technology, scientific advances and innovations, and how they affect our daily lives.

IBEC Director Josep Samitier talks to Lluís Reales in a half-hour-long interview for the BTV science programme Terrícoles. Click on the image to watch the video.

New IBEC junior group leader Lorenzo Albertazzi is profiled in El Mundo’s “Personajes Únicos” section this week.

Last week’s IBEC-organized B·Debate on “Future Tools for Biomedical Research: in vitro, in silico and in vivo Disease Modeling” at CosmoCaixa gained some coverage in the press and on the radio.

Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group leader and ICREA research professor Xavier Trepat has been profiled in El País, where he discusses how combining physics and biology can open new roads to discovering mechanisms that can help us overcome disease, regenerate organs and improve ageing.

An introduction by IBEC Director Josep Samitier begins a 9-page article in El Pais about the future of organ replacement in light of the advances in 3D printing. As biological materials can now be ‘printed’ as scaffolds that can be used for implants and tissue repair or organs, is the fabrication of entire functioning organs closer than ever?

IBEC’s Pau Gorostiza is a quoted expert in an El Pais article about research into sonogenetics at the Salk, where researchers have produced worms with genetically modified nervous systems that can be controlled by sound waves.
