Today, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) held a matchmaking workshop. The event brought together leading researchers from both centres to encourage the formation of new connections and promote scientific dialogue.
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.

Un vídeo hecho en Barcelona documenta por primera vez en un modelo artificial de matriz la implantación, momento crítico y gran desconocido del embarazo humano.
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.
The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), a CERCA centre, is pleased to announce that Dr Teresa Sanchis, Head of Strategy at IBEC, has been appointed Director General of Research at the Department of Research and Universities of the Government of Catalonia. This appointment recognises her scientific career and commitment to research management.
