The nanodevices group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Research Assistant to develop a 3 month project on imaging of enzymes on nanoparticles using super resolution microscopy.. The contract will be within the framework of enzyme-nanomotors, whose objective is to quantify proteins on active nanoparticles.
A pesar de que el 40% de la masa corporal total es tejido muscular esquelético, según la Asociación Médica Estadounidense, no existe un perfil de médico clínico especializado en el tratamiento de enfermedades musculares. Es precisamente en esta área que, desde hace unos años, el grupo de investigación del Dr. Javier Ramón en IBEC trabaja para llenar la brecha entre trastornos musculares y terapias médicas específicas.

The Molecular Bionics group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Predoctoral researcher to develop their research thesis on a project focused on the the optomoisation, characterisation and study of nanoparticles for crossing the blood brain barrier.
The candidate will apply for a fellowship “Ayudas para contratos predoctorales para la formación de doctores” associated to the “Severo Ochoa Mención de Excelencia” granted to IBEC by the “Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades”.
Según indica el estudio, la estrategia tiene además la ventaja de reconocer al gametocito, la fase transmisible del parásito. Encapsular dos fármacos con propiedades diferentes en nanovesículas rodeadas por anticuerpos mejora notablemente la especificidad y eficacia de los mismos, según un estudio liderado por Xavier Fernández-Busquets, director de la unidad mixta de Nanomalaria del Instituto de Bioingeniería de Cataluña (IBEC) y el Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal), centro impulsado por ”la Caixa”.La combinación de dos fármacos que difieren en su mecanismo de acción es la base de las terapias más exitosas hoy en día para tratar la malaria. Sin embargo, la diferencia en propiedades fisicoquímicas de los fármacos (solubilidad, vida media, etc.) afecta muchas veces a la eficacia del tratamiento.

The Bioengineering in Reproductive Health Group group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) offers a Laboratory Technician position for an experienced embryologist to develop a project in collaboration with the industry.
The project involves testing the effects of different culture media reagents on mouse and human embryos in culture.
Our laboratory is a multidisciplinary environment where biologists, biophysicists, clinicians and business developers synergize to create a unique environment shaped by science and entrepreneurship. Due to the high translational component of our research, we have established collaboration contracts with the pharma industry, hospitals and venture capital to bring our technology to the clinics and the market.
In our lab we use bioengineering methods to create 3D environments that support embryonic development outside of the mother uterus. Our systems are accessible to imaging tools which allow us to interrogate the genetics, metabolomics and mechanics of the embryo in a high throughput manner. Using our systems we are capable to (i) improve embryo culture conditions and (ii) diagnose embryos with improved implantation potential.
El grupo de SPECS, junto con el servicio de medicina física y rehabilitación del hospital de Sant Joan de Barcelona, nos cuentan en el informativo del Punt Avui televisión, su estudio en realidad virtual para pacientes que han sufrido un ictus. El estudio se inició en 2014 y se trata de un refuerzo del tratamiento básico de rehabilitación. En este caso, se ha hecho un estudio con 18 pacientes y se ha observado una clara mejora al cabo de dos meses gracias a este sistema.
