Postdoctoral position at the Targeted Therapeutics & Nanodevices Research Group
Application Deadline: 18/06/2021
Ref: PD-SM
The Targeted Therapeutics and Nanodevices Research group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Postdoctoral candidate to collaborate in a research project focused on the identification, characterization, and application of “universal” monoclonal antibodies capable of recognizing specific cell-surface receptors in a variety of species, as primary tools to then develop targeted drug delivery applications (nanoparticles and antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
The contract will be within the framework of the project “CROSSTARGET: Development of new translational cross-species tools for therapeutic targeting with organ and subcellular precision”, funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades under its RETOS program.
PhD Position in the Synthetic Morphogenesis group (IBEC, TU/e)
Application Deadline: 21/05/2021
Ref: PH- VC
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e, Eindhoven – Netherlands) are seeing an ambitious PhD Candidate to investigate the morphogenesis of living tissues from the computational perspective. The successful candidate will carry out computational research with the Synthetic Morphogenesis group under the supervision of Dr Vito Conte across both institutions at the interface between Biology, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Sciences. This multidisciplinary doctoral research will be carried out in collaboration with Dr Jose Muñoz at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC, Barcelona – Spain) and will be part of greater efforts aiming at establishing a new Platform for the Live-Quantification of Cell and Tissue Mechanics across the IBEC and the TU/e.
Este Sant Jordi llega el primer cómic de IBBI, la superheroína de la Bioingeniería
Coincidiendo con el Día Internacional del libro y con Sant Jordi, el Instituto de bioingeniería de Cataluña (IBEC) lanza la primera tira cómica de IBBI, la primera superheroína de la Bioingeniería. En esta primera aventura, IBBI utilizará sus superpoderes para generar organoides de riñón. Esta figura pretende hacer llegar al público no científico, de una manera entendedora i divertida, una de las disciplinas que marcaran la medicina del futuro.
Combatir una bacteria oportunista y sus cómplices
Eduard Torrents y Maria del Mar Cendra, investigadora posdoctoral en su laboratorio, han publicado una revisión, en la revista Biotechnology Advances, donde describen el modo en que P. aeruginosa forma biofilms, en los que puede convivir con otras especies de microorganismos, y su impacto negativo para la salud global.
Project Manager of Knowledge
Data límit: 18/05/2021
Ref: PMK_TS
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), a cutting-edge research center based in Barcelona, is looking for a Project Manager of knowledge to deploy IBEC’s Open Science Pillar, especially in what refers to the coordination and management of research data and publications.
This is an exciting full-time, development opportunity for a new Project Manager to join the Strategic Initiatives unit and reporting to the Head of the Unit.
The Strategic Initiatives Unit provides strategic advice and support to the Director in the deployment of the Strategic Plan of IBEC. Among others, the unit fosters and coordinates (a) institutional and strategic projects and alliances such as Severo Ochoa, BIST, EIT Health and institutional networks as the NanoMed Spain, (b) international alliances and partnerships, (c) the scientific activities of the institute and (d) open science deployment.
The contract will be funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación within the Severo Ochoa framework.
