“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.
“Una gasa amb nanopartícules accelera la curació de les llagues” (Eng)
At the end of last year El Periódico covered the Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group’s crowdfunding venture, the Dermoglass project, with a full page article and colour photos.
“Las células humanas construyen puentes colgantes para cicatrizar las heridas” (Eng)

Josep Samitier: “la nanotecnologia canviarà les nostres vides en 15 o 20 anys”
Josep Samitier, Xavier Fernandez-Busquets, Santiago Marco and Sergio Oller all feature in this half-hour episode of science programme ‘El problema de Gettier’, which is devoted to nanotechnology.
Skin forms ‘suspension bridges’ for wound healing
Results from IBEC researchers and their collaborators will pave the way for better and faster wound healing, as well opening new avenues for tissue engineering of skin
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.
“Al laboratori al ‘Connexió’: Suma UPC, idees a la recerca de finançament” (Eng)
Last week BTV’s Connexió programme reported on three of the projects which are currently raising funds by crowdfunding under the UPC’s SUMA initiative. One is the Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies … Read more
