Together with Patients with Duchenne, IBEC is developing a ‘heart-on-a-chip’ to halt the cardiac damage caused by the condition
Duchenne Parent Project Spain has invested €247,000 in the BEAT project, which will be carried out by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Around 20,000 new Duchenne cases are diagnosed globally each year.
IBEC welcomes young talent to its reSEARCH4TALENT open day
On 30 April, the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia held the twelfth reSEARCH4TALENT event, which is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in pursuing a career in research. The event brought together close to 50 people, who were able to learn about life at the institute, speak with researchers, and tour the laboratories.
TN – TELEMADRID: Pioneros en programar tejidos vivos
Un equipo internacional liderado por investigadores del Instituto de Bioingeniería de Cataluña ha conseguido algo que hasta ahora solo se había imaginado en la ciencia ficción, crear tejidos vivos que son capaces de cambiar de manera programada. La clave está en controlar la orientación de las células. Declaraciones de Xavier Trepat, Investigador del Instituto de Bioingeniería Cataluña; Pau Guillamat, investigador Instituto de Bioingenieria de Cataluña.
How cells decide when to react could shape future treatments for cancer and fibrosis
Scientists from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and King’s College London have discovered that cells do not just sense mechanical forces but also measure how long those forces last before responding. The findings, published in Nature Materials, reveal a timing mechanism that allows cells to ignore brief mechanical noise while reacting to sustained changes, a process that is crucial in diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
IBEC makes its mark at TERMISEU 2026 with a strong scientific presence and a key role in the conference’s leadership
