Researchers at IBEC provide new insights on how to treat chronic infections
Researchers at Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have managed to recreate the coculture conditions and environmental requisites that would allow the simultaneous and stable growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, two major pathogens commonly found growing together in intricate biofilms in disease-affected lungs or wounds.
Most chronic infections occur due to the inherent capacity of some bacterial pathogens to grow in biofilms. Biofilm-associated infections, which have become a critical worldwide threat, have historically been treated as single-species events.
IBEC joins the BASE3D community to contribute to the future of 3D printing
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) will contribute its extensive experience in 3D printing and bioprinting to the BASE 3D community, an entity that brings together research centers and companies from all over Catalonia with the aim of promoting R+D+i in the field of printing 3D.

Tania Patiño talks about biobots at RTVE
Tania Patiño at the radio program “Open Future” at RTVE talks about biobots and the future that awaits thanks to the research in the field of biological nanorobots, also known as smart-nano-bio-devices.
The third edition of the “Crazy about Bioengineering” program is ongoing
They are crazy, yes, but about science. 24 high-school students from different schools around Catalonia participate together with the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in the “Crazy about Science” program, promoted by Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation since 2013.

Elisabeth Engel at “El Método” podcast
Second release of our monthly collaboration with Luís Quevedo at “El Método” podcast. It’s Elisabeth Engel’s turn, principal investigator of the “Biomaterials for regenerative therapies” at IBEC talking about biomaterials, 3D bioprinting, personalised medicine among other things.
Identified a new repairing mechanism of the peripheral nervous system by applyting bioengineering techniques
The Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group with the collaboration of the Nanobioengineering group, both of them at IBEC, have applied a new light-stimulated technique to modulate muscular activity and stimulate cell regeneration of the peripheral nervous system.
The Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group with the collaboration of the Nanobioengineering group, both of them at IBEC, have applied a new light-stimulated technique to modulate muscular activity and stimulate cell regeneration of the peripheral nervous system.Thanks to this research they have discovered that muscle activity can activate the neurons and accelerate their regeneration after an injury.
