A study led by the University of Barcelona in collaboraiton with the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia reveals that the functional assay dynamic BH3 profiling (DBP) can predict whether specific treatments will be effective in non-small cell lung cancer patients. The technique helps determine which therapy will be most effective by testing it directly on living cells, improving personalised therapies.
Dr Irene Marco-Rius, principal investigator at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), has been awarded the 2025 Anatole Abragam Prize for her pioneering work on the use of magnetic resonance to study cells grown on chips, allowing ex vivo metabolic assessment of disease mechanisms and therapy responses in controlled microenvironments. The award was presented at the Joint ENC-ISMAR Conference in California.
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) was a major presence at the 43rd Comic Barcelona last week. Through an exhibition on everyday science, talks and informative workshops, IBEC was able to bring its cutting-edge research to an audience of all ages.
