“Càpsules de Ciència: Josep Samitier” (Eng)
IBEC Director Josep Samitier stars in one of the Associació per a la Divulgació de la Cultura Cientifica (ADICC)’s ‘Càpsules de Ciència’, a series of videos highlighting biomedical and biotechnology researchers in Catalonia. In the video, he explains nanobiotechnology with the submarine on Ronda de Dalt as a backdrop, which represents the way nanodevices can travel through our bodies much like tiny submarines on a rescue mission.

Antibiotic resistance: a ‘devastating’ public health issue
A researcher’s paper published in the journal Environmental Microbiology is just one step in the right direction to tackle a major public health issue that he and other experts say could soon be devastating.
Microbiologists led by Antonio Juárez at IBEC and their collaborators at the University of Barcelona reveal that a particular genetic element – a plasmid – that confers multiple antibiotic resistance plays a major role in the survival of Salmonella, the cause of typhoid fever in humans.
