ERC funding to tackle pollutants in water

samuelpocIBEC group leader and ICREA research professor Samuel Sánchez is to receive an ERC Proof of Concept grant to explore the innovation potential of some of his research.

His project “Active microcleaners for water remediation” (Microcleaners) will tackle the huge rise in pollutants in water that has been the result of the massive growth in industrial, domestic and agricultural activities.

The tiny Microcleaners – based on the same technology Samuel uses for his self-propelled nanorobots that are designed for applications in nanomedicine, such as drug delivery – are active self-mixing and multifunctional systems capable of cleaning chemical and biological pollutants.

Synthetic Morphogenesis

In the group we advance cross-disciplinary research at the interface between biology, physics and engineering by studying the mechanical biology and the biological mechanics of pathological development and disease progression. … Read more
