The NanoMed Europe 2025 conference, Europe’s leading event in the field of nanomedicine and advanced health technologies, took place from 27 to 30 May. This edition was hosted in Barcelona, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Spanish Nanomedicine Platform (NANOMED Spain), which is coordinated by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). Since its establishment in 2005, NANOMED Spain has collaborated closely with the European Technology Platform for Nanomedicine (ETPN) to encourage nanomedicine innovation in Spain and across Europe.

IBEC and ISGlobal researchers led a study that points towards protein aggregation as a possible target to find new ways to reduce the viability of Plasmodium falciparum, the main causing agent of malaria. By inducing protein aggregation, they observed considerable disorders in protein homeostasis and a significant reduction in parasite growth. The results position protein aggregation control as a promising target for antimalarial therapies.
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is participating in the international SOLFEGE project, which aims to explore how different cell types coordinate with each other through soluble factors in the tumour microenvironment. This project has been made possible thanks to funding from the Human Frontier Science Program. SOLFEGE is a consortium led by the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), with IBEC and the Duke University, as partners.
More than 300 people attended the eighth Mutational Scanning Symposium, which took place from 21 to 23 May at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park. The symposium is a key event for discussing the latest advances in mutational scanning technologies and Multiplex Assays of Variant Effects. This year, the symposium was co-organised by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, the Centre for Genomic Regulation, and the international Atlas of Variant Effects initiative.
