PhD Student at the Molecular Bionics Research Group

Application Deadline: 17/10/2021
Ref: PhD_IB

The Molecular Bionics group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for PhD student to work on the development of targeted nanotherapeutics for drug delivery with a focus on infectious diseases and cancer. The project will be jointly supervised by Dr. Iris L. Batalha (La Caixa Junior Leader Fellow) and Prof. Giuseppe Battaglia.
We are looking for a Chemistry/ Bioengineering/ Biotechnology graduate to work on an interdisciplinary project at the interface of chemistry and biology. The project will include the synthesis and functionalisation of polymers and assembly into nanoparticle delivery systems, protein expression and purification, generation of peptide ligands by phage display, and evaluation of targeted nanoparticles in vitro for applications in the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer.

Postdoctoral position / Senior Research Assistant at the Molecular Imaging for Precision Medicine Research Group


Application Deadline: 30/09/2021
Ref: PD_IM.1

The Molecular Imaging for Precision Medicine group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher or senior research assistant to work on the implementation of fast pulse sequences on a benchtop NMR spectrometer for 13C hyperpolarization-enhanced NMR experiments.

The contract will be within the framework of the EU FET Open project “Benchtop NMR spectrometer for lab-on-a-chip” (https://blocproject.eu), whose objective is the development of non-invasive assays based on hyperpolarized magnetic resonance (MR) to study real-time metabolism on tissue engineered organ-on-a-chip systems.

Una “Loca por la bioingeniería” transmite su pasión por la nanotecnología a sus compañeros de aula

La bioingeniería es poderosa y llega a las aulas. Así lo demuestra un trabajo sobre nanotecnología, realizado por alumnos de la escuela Joan Pelegrí. La Marina Pujol, una alumna del programa educativo «Locos y Locas por la Bioingeniería» que tiene lugar en el IBEC, transmitido su pasión por la bioingeniería a dos compañeras suyas y han realizado un trabajo y un vídeo sobre la nanotecnología.

Rehabilitación de alta intensidad para la recuperación del ictus

El Profesor de Investigación ICREA Paul Verschure y Belén Rubio Ballester, respectivamente líder de grupo e investigadora postdoctoral del Grupo de Sistemas Sintéticos, Perceptivos, Emotivos y Cognitivos (SPECS) del IBEC, aparecen en los medios por el estudio colaborativo con Nick S. Ward de la UCL sobre un análisis retrospectivo que concluye en que una terapia de alta intensidad realizada dentro de los 6 meses posteriores a un ictus, ofrece los mejores resultados de rehabilitación.
