The Targeted therapeutics and nanodevices group led by Dr. Silvia Muro at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for Postdoctoral candidate to work on the design of nanocarriers to transport drugs to the brain. The contract will be framed around a funded Explora Ciencia / Tecnología project, which aims to investigate the biological mechanisms controlling transport into and across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to then design polymeric nanovehicles with optimal properties for brain delivery of therapeutics in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

The Biomimetic systems for cell engineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for Postdoctoral Researcher candidate to to develop his/her project on the development of a physiological in vitro model of the intestinal epithelium from using organoid-derived cells.
The contract will be within the framework of the project “Engineering complex models of intestinal epithelium”, whose objective is the development of tissue-like models of intestinal tissue that can be used in basic research, disease modeling, host-pathogen interaction studies, and regenerative medicine.
Investigadores del IBEC y de IDIBELL han desarrollado una molécula regulada con luz que podría mejorar los tratamientos de quimioterapia al controlar la actividad de los agentes anti-cáncer.La quimioterapia (el uso de agentes citotóxicos para matar rápidamente las células que proliferan en los tumores) es una de las armas principales en la lucha contra el cáncer. A pesar de esto, su efectividad y la tolerancia del cuerpo a esta técnica a menudo están enormemente limitadas: además de las áreas cancerosas, también puede afectar áreas sanas y provocar efectos secundarios.
Los Centros de Excelencia Severo Ochoa -entre los que se encuentra el IBEC-, y las Unidades de Excelencia María de Maeztu, se han encontrado hoy en la tercera edición del 100xCiencia, el evento anual de la Alianza SOMMa, que se ha celebrado en el CNIO de Madrid .El 100xCiencia de este año, titulado «Bringing Science and Society», ha privotado entorno a la relación comunicativa entre los centros de investigación y la sociedad, y el IBEC ha participado con un póster sobre sus actividades de divulgación.
Además de los representantes de los centros y unidades de investigación, también han asistido políticos y periodistas para debatir sobre los diferentes aspectos de cómo y por qué la ciencia es importante para la sociedad.
Ayer, en el programa Deuwatts de la Betevé, Núria Montserrat del IBEC explicó algunas líneas de investigación orientadas a crear órganos y tejidos artificiales con células del propio paciente.
