Bioengineering against COVID-19 receives a new boost thanks to “La Marató”
Three projects of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) will receive funding from “La Marató de TV3” to investigate different aspects of COVID-19. Thanks to the contributions received, the experts will deepen their understanding of the disease and its possible therapeutic solutions, study improvements in patient care processes, develop a system to predict the evolution of the respiratory system, and advance in the treatment of patients with pneumonia derived from COVID19.
Machine learning applied to microscopy accelerates image processing
IBEC researchers were able to drastically reduce the microscopy images processing time using machine learning tools. By using this new technique, they obtained, in only few seconds, a map of the cellular biochemical composition.

Ref: PM-ICT_SPECS
The Synthetic, Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems (SPECS) group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Project Manager in Research specialization in ICT ( Information and Communication Technologies) . We have an exciting full-time, development opportunity for a new Project Manager to join the SPECS-lab and the Projects Office in Barcelona.
The role of the project manager will be to oversee and manage the SPECS-lab research projects with the research lines assigned, liaising with IBECS’s project office and other sites and institutions across Spain and Europe.
Machine learning reduces microscope data processing time from months to just seconds
With a new method that combines high-powered scanning force microscopes and machine learning, IBEC researchers have drastically reduced the processing time required to achieve nanoscale biochemical compositions map from electric images of eukaryotic cells in just seconds. Using earlier computation methods, processing one image could take even months.
