IBEC’s fourth reSearch4Talent welcomes students interested in a scientific career

Nearly fifty undergraduate and master students attended today’s reSearch4Talent at IBEC, the fourth time we’ve opened our doors to young scholars interested in a career in science.

Held in the Dolors Aleu room of the Barcelona Science Park, the event started with a welcome and presentation about the institute from IBEC’s director, Josep Samitier, followed by specific information about applications and admissions from Ciara Boter of the HR department.

IBEC research on cover of Trends

Alberto Elosegui-Artola, Xavier Trepat and Pere Roca-Cusachs’ paper in Trends in Cell Biology has made the cover of the latest issue of the Cell-family journal.

In ‘Control of Mechanotransduction by Molecular Clutch Dynamics’, the IBEC researchers review how cell dynamics and mechanotransduction are driven by molecular clutch dynamics.
The molecular clutch hypothesis suggests a mechanism of coupling between integrins and actin during cell migration, whereby a series of bonds that dynamically engage and disengage link cells to their microenvironment.

IBEC student headed for Michigan with Daniel Bravo scholarship

Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies PhD student Jesús Ordoño will spend six months at Michigan State University with a Daniel Bravo scholarship.

He’s one of just three winners in the 2018 call by the Fundació Privada Daniel Bravo Andreu, which aims to to stimulate high impact biomedical research in Catalonia by awarding a monthly stipend plus travel expenses for researcher to stay in some of the most prestigious centers in the world.

Jesús will work at Michigan State University’s Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering on a project entitled “Elucidation of the mechanisms and signaling pathways of lactate on cardiac regeneration”.
