We are interested in cell–biomaterials interaction, and more specifically, on the dynamic formation of the provisional extracellular matrix (ECM) – the thin protein layer that cells recognize, produce, and remodel … Read more
The main goal of the Nanoscale Bioelectrical Characterization group is to develop a multiscale and multimodal (electrical, mechanical) approach to Bioelectricity, covering from the nano- to the microscale. To this … Read more
The Nanobioengineering group is a truly multidisciplinary team composed by researchers coming from very diverse backgrounds working together in applying nanotechnology for the development of new biomedical systems and devices, … Read more
Research in the laboratory focuses on developing nanoscale tools to study biological systems. These tools include instrumentation based on proximity probes, such as electrochemical tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy and single … Read more
Our research interests are focused on three main aspects of developmental neurobiology and neurodegeneration: development of new lab on chip devices for neurobiological research, new strategies to avoid α-synuclein and tau transport in … Read more
Former group leader: Antonio Juárez 1. Structure and function of bacterial proteins that modulate virulence expression Protein–protein and protein–DNA interactions play key roles in the ability of virulent bacteria to … Read more
We aim at understanding how physical forces and molecular control modules cooperate to drive biological function. We develop new technologies to map and perturb the main physical properties that determine … Read more

The Biomimetic systems for cell engineering group is a junior group under IBEC’s Tenure Track scheme. The “Biomimetic Systems for Cell Engineering” group is a multidisciplinary research group focussing its … Read more
Xavier Serra Picamal, formerly a PhD student in IBEC’s Integrative Cell and Tissue Dynamics group, was awarded a prestigious Ramon Margalef Prize for the best paper derived from a doctoral thesis at a ceremony at the UB last night.Xavier received the prize for a 2012 Nature Physics paper, “Mechanical Waves during tissue expansion”, which describes a new type of mechanical waves in living matter.
