CaixaImpulse selects two IBEC initiatives to promote tech transfer in science
This morning, the 15 research projects that have been selected for funding under in the first CaixaImpulse call, including two IBEC projects, were presented at the Palau Macaya.
Xavier Puñet, a PhD student in the Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group, presented Dermoglass, a dressing that stimulates revascularization in chronic wounds such as skin ulcers and promotes the formation of healthy skin. The other IBEC project selected for funding is RNRbiotics led by Eduard Torrents, group leader of the Bacterial infections: antibiotic therapy group, which aims to develop new antimicrobial agents effective against resistant bacterial infections, currently considered as one of the main threats to human health (World Health Organization).
Nanoscopy for Nanomedicine
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
Expert in novel drug delivery systems joins IBEC
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 group presents 4th generation biomaterial that mimics bone
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.
