Postdoctoral Position in Smart Nano-Bio-Devices (Ref. PD-SS)
Application Deadline: 21/03/2016
Ref: PD-SS
The Smart Nano-Bio-Devices group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) , led by Dr. Samuel Sánchez, is looking for a Postdoctoral candidate to work in the ERC project: Lab-in-a-tube and nanorobotic biosensors.
Xavier a runner-up in the La Vanguardia Science Award
IBEC group leader and ICREA research professor Xavier Trepat has come third in the La Vanguardia Science Award.
Xavier was nominated, alongside the UPC’s Marino Arroyo, for their groups’ research into what happens at a cellular level when the body’s tissues are broken – work that was published last year in Nature Materials. Xavier and Marino gained 15.3% of the votes in a readers’ poll that was open throughout February to nominate the Spanish scientist or scientists that did the most important research during 2015.
The overall winner of the competition was Joan Seoane at VHIO for his work on lumbar puncture against cerebral tumours. Clara Soria-Valles and Fernando G. Osorio of the University of Oviedo came second for their work on the role of the NF-kB molecule in ageing.

Moving in important circles
IBEC group leader and ICREA research professor Samuel Sánchez is the winner of this year’s edition of the Círculo Ecuestre’s Premio Joven Relevante.
Samuel received the honour at a gala dinner last Thursday, where he was voted first of the three finalists by the members of the exclusive society. The prize recognizes and rewards an individual or team of people younger than 38 who has developed a project that brings significant change for the benefit of Catalan and Spanish society.
The Círculo Ecuestre was founded in 1856 by a group of middle-class Catalans united by a common interest – horse riding. It has since been a meeting point in Catalan society, and a place where current and past affairs are debated and culture, business and leisure are brought together. The club currently has 1565 members, of which 400 are under the age of 40, from all walks of life: economics, politics, society and culture.
IBEC and UB scientists solve long-standing enigma in chemistry
This image shows the first-ever catalysis of a chemical reaction using an electric field, which could revolutionise the way we produce chemicals for applications in daily life.
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), the University of Barcelona (UB) and two universities in Australia have introduced a new way of catalysing (speeding up) chemical reactions by applying an electric field between the reacting molecules. This opens the door for the fabrication of chemical compounds, used in drugs and materials, in a faster and cheaper way.
“El sueño de un cuerpo recambiable”
La Vanguardia published a long article about the potential of 3D printing in biomedicine at the weekend, speculating whether the dream of being able to ‘print’ spare parts for the body – new eyes, ears, limbs and even organs – is already within reach.
