Xavier Puñet, a PhD student in the Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group, presented Dermoglass, a dressing that stimulates revascularization in chronic wounds such as skin ulcers and promotes the formation of healthy skin. The other IBEC project selected for funding is RNRbiotics led by Eduard Torrents, group leader of the Bacterial infections: antibiotic therapy group, which aims to develop new antimicrobial agents effective against resistant bacterial infections, currently considered as one of the main threats to human health (World Health Organization).
The main goal of our group is to use Super Resolution Microscopy (nanoscopy) to visualize and track in living cells and tissues self-assembled nanomaterials with therapeutic potential (nanomedicine). The understanding … Read more
Lorenzo, who is coming to Barcelona from Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands, will set up a laboratory at IBEC to create a molecular ‘toolbox’ of supramolecular biomimetic structures – self-organized or assembled synthetic materials able to mimic the complexity of biological machinery – for applications in nanomedicine and biotechnology, such as transporting drugs into the body or attacking viruses.
The Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group and their collaborators in the Netherlands and Poland describe a hybrid material which faithfully mimics the structure of bone’s extracellular matrix.
Inside this issue you’ll find articles about the Severo Ochoa award and other prizes, clinical collaborations, new projects, a roundup of the latest activities and events, HR news, and an overview of IBEC’s major new institutional venture, EIT Health. The newsletter is also a handy guide to upcoming events at the institute, and introduces some of our most recent newcomers.
Co-organized by B·Debate and IBEC, this is an opportunity to debate with experts and professionals of the field to review experiences and best practices in the use of new approaches for disease models for safety tests.
