14th IBEC Symposium brings international experts and 300 attendees together
International experts and three hundred registered attendees met in the 14th IBEC Symposium, dedicated to regenerative therapies. Organised by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), speakers presented the latest advances in mini-organs, organs on a chip, 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering, among others.
Organoids and regenerative properties on the radio
Nuria Montserrat, group leader at IBEC, is invited to the Onda Cero program “Más de uno”, where she shares her research with organoids to study diseases or replace damaged tissues and also explains the ability of the amphibian called axolotl to regenerate their own organs.

Bioengineered mini organs move towards the fight against cancer thanks to the AECC
A 3-years research project led by the ICREA Research Professor at IBEC, Núria Montserrat, has been dedicated to study kidney cancer by using laboratory organoids, thanks to the “LAB 2017” grants from the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). Researchers have managed to create the first renal organoid-based animal model for this type of cancer, and to identify early signs of the development of the disease.
