CHEMTUBIO, a new ERC project at IBEC to study enzymes with therapeutic potential
Carlos Moreno Yruela, who is currently a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, was selected in the ERC Starting Grants call to develop the CHEMTUBIO project at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). The project will study the chemistry of enzymes that erase microtubule modifications. These enzymes are essential for the functioning of our cells and have shown great promise as potential therapeutic targets for treating cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders.

Human embryo implantation recorded in real time for the first time
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have recorded human embryo implantation in real time for the first time, using an innovative system developed in the laboratory that simulates the outer layers of the uterus in 3D. Implantation failure is one of the main causes of infertility, accounting for 60% of miscarriages. The work, published in the journal Science Advances, may help to better understand the mechanisms underlying the implantation process, improving fertility rates and optimising assisted reproduction processes.
IBEC and Antoni Muntadas featured in the ‘Invisible Animals’ exhibition at the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) attended the opening of the exhibition, which highlights extinct fauna that remains present in the collective imagination. The exhibition includes a section dedicated to the Tasmanian tiger featuring a piece by Antoni Muntadas, on which IBEC collaborated with Benedetta Bolognesi, a principal investigator at the institute.
