IBEC to lead two biomedical projects under the CaixaImpulse programme

Anna Lagunas and Daniel González-Carter, who are both senior researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), will be leading these projects as part of the 2025 edition of the programme. This initiative by the “la Caixa” Foundation aims to accelerate the commercialisation of biomedical innovations to make them available to patients who need them more quickly. The two IBEC projects focus on treating diseases that affect the brain.

Biohybrid robotics: Muscles and tendons for robots

Researchers at the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia have developed a biohybrid system that mimics the biological interface between bones and muscles, enabling improved force transmission. This technology could be applied not only in robotics but also in the development of medical implants.
