Winner Mark Gutierrez, who goes to school at La Salle Manlleu, carried out his research project under the supervision of Anna Crespo, a PhD student in the Bacterial infections: antimicrobial therapies group at IBEC. His project, “El món bacterià: Estudi comparatiu entre l’acció dels antibiòtics i la dels tractaments naturals sobre els bacteris i de l’aparició de resistències”, will also be presented alongside the other two winning ones at the ‘Fira Recerca en Directe’, which this year will be held at CosmoCaixa from 3rd-6th May.

Mark was one of three winners among the 40 students elected to participate in BATX2LAB in the last round. In total, the programme received 123 applications.
