The main goal of our group is to use Super Resolution Microscopy (nanoscopy) to visualize and track in living cells and tissues self-assembled nanomaterials with therapeutic potential (nanomedicine). The understanding … Read more
Dr Lorenzo Albertazzi, a nanoscientist whose research focuses on creating smart self-assembling materials for therapeutic applications, is joining IBEC this September.Lorenzo, who is coming to Barcelona from Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands, will set up a laboratory at IBEC to create a molecular ‘toolbox’ of supramolecular biomimetic structures – self-organized or assembled synthetic materials able to mimic the complexity of biological machinery – for applications in nanomedicine and biotechnology, such as transporting drugs into the body or attacking viruses.
IBEC researchers have published a paper in Nanoscale elucidating a brand new biomaterial that paves the way towards a fourth generation of effective structures for tissue regeneration. The Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group and their collaborators in the Netherlands and Poland describe a hybrid material which faithfully mimics the structure of bone’s extracellular matrix.
The latest edition of InsideIBEC, the newsletter of IBEC, is available now.Inside this issue you’ll find articles about the Severo Ochoa award and other prizes, clinical collaborations, new projects, a roundup of the latest activities and events, HR news, and an overview of IBEC’s major new institutional venture, EIT Health. The newsletter is also a handy guide to upcoming events at the institute, and introduces some of our most recent newcomers.
Co-organized by B·Debate and IBEC, this is an opportunity to debate with experts and professionals of the field to review experiences and best practices in the use of new approaches for disease models for safety tests.
