The Nanoprobes and Nanoswitches group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for predoctoral candidate in Medical Chemistry.
IBEC is to be part of a revolution in fetal surgery and the research of prenatal diseases thanks to support by the Obra Social ”la Caixa” and Cellex foundations.The two foundations are set to fund two major projects coordinated by the Fetal Medicine Research Centre, Fetal i+D (Hospital Clínic and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu). A fetal surgery part of the project, promoted by the Cellex Foundation, will improve the interventions currently being carried out, as well as developing new surgery to treat problems that currently lack solutions.
