Alícia Casals against the invisibility of female scientists
The industrial and computer engineer Alícia Casals, associated researcher at IBEC and professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), is interviewed in “el Periódico” to talk about the merits of the female researchers and to inspire young women in their disciplines.
Researchers develop enzyme-powered micromotors based on metal-organic porous materials
In a new article published in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society, researchers describe how they successfully designed and fabricated bubble-propelled enzymatic micromotors built from a highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF). These new micromotors might lead to applications for drug delivery, and adsorption of pollutants.
Mechanical forces, half of the alphabet to understand life
Xavier Trepat and international experts remind us in a piece published in the Journal Nature by science writer Amber Dance, the crucial role of physics in order to understand biological entities such cells and organs, both in health and disease. In words of Trepat: “Understanding a cell without physics is like trying to write a book with only half the letters of the alphabet”.

L’Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya (IBEC) requereix incorporar un/-a tècnic de laboratori per a la unitat de Core Facilities de l’IBEC, que té la funció de proporcionar serveis i suport diaris a les operacions dels laboratoris del IBEC. Això inclou la gestió, l’organització i el manteniment dels laboratoris perquè els investigadors interns tinguin accés lliure als equips centralitzats, així com les regulacions de treball i seguretat. També ofereix formació i informació als estudiants i investigadors que s’uneixen a l’Institut sobre l’organització i el funcionament dels espais IBEC, i configura i engega nous laboratoris.
A més dels equips de laboratori habituals (Common Core Basics), la unitat d’Infraestructures proporciona equips sofisticats i avançats per recolzar la recerca dels grups.
