A history of biomedicine in Spain in 28 chapters

book launch BotinThe life and career of IBEC Director Josep Samitier is one of the “28 Historias de Ciencia e Innovación Biomédica en España/28 Stories of Science and Biomedical Innovation in Spain” in a book launched yesterday by the Fundación Botin in Madrid.

The book celebrates the foundation’s ten years of close collaboration with some of the top scientists in Spain in the field of biomedicine under its Technology Transfer programme, working together to develop products or services that improve quality of life and provide business and investment opportunities. IBEC’s partnership with the foundation has been in regard to the technology transfer of results obtained by the Nanobioengineering group within the project ‘Desarrollo de Tecnologías en Bionanomedicina para diagnóstico y terapia’.

Researchers reveal a potential cancer repressor function in a key protein

Wolfensonpaper figure ENGIn a paper published in Nature Cell Biology, IBEC junior group leader Pere Roca Cusachs and his collaborators at Columbia University and Singapore’s Mechanobiology Institute reveal the potential of a protein found in cell cytoskeletons as a repressor of cancer.

The ability of cells to sense the rigidity of the extracellular matrix – a collection of molecules that provides structural and biochemical support – affects the regulation of their activity in development, wound healing and other essential processes.

Postdoc Position in Nanobioengineering (Ref. PN-JS)


Application Deadline: 15/12/2015
Ref: PN-JS

The Nanobioengineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) , coordinated by Prof. Josep Samitier, is looking for a Postdoctoral position to participate iin organ chip Technology projects that can mimic various human internal organs or systems. The main activities of the group involve the surface functionalization of materials integrated with microfluidics systems for the study of biomolecule and cell interactions to develop Organ on Chip or for the development of new biosensors that will be integrated in lab-on-a-chip devices. The goal is to fabricate microsystems containing living cells that recapitulate tissue and organ level functions in vitro and new portable diagnosis devices that can be used as Point-of-Care systems.
