IBEC and BST strengthen ties with Translational Collaboration Day

IBEC and the Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia (BST) held a day to explore new collaborations in bioengineering and translational medicine. The meeting, held yesterday at IBEC, highlighted innovative projects, presented a joint PhD programme and strengthened the link between biomedical research and clinical applications.

Histones against bacterial infections

Research led by IBEC has analysed the antimicrobial activity of human histones against various bacteria, both in solution and in biofilm. The results are very promising and open the door to finding new, more effective treatments, particularly against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. This bacterium is mainly responsible for the development of chronic wounds and lung failure in patients with cystic fibrosis and other respiratory diseases.
