“Pioneers” Award for research and potential application of biorobots
The researcher Rafael Mestre wins the CERCA 2021 Pioneer Award for his doctoral thesis on the development and application of bioacoustics biorobots based on muscle tissue, and the improvement of its manufacture using 3D printing technologies. The jury considered that the project, carried out under the supervision of ICREA Professor at IBEC, Samuel Sánchez, could have a great impact and applications, in various fields, such as regenerative medicine.
Samuel Sánchez receives a medal from the Young Academy of Spain
Samuel Sánchez, group leader at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), has received a medal from the Young Academy of Spain as a new full-time academic. The event took place in the Assembly Hall of the Royal National Academy of Pharmacy.
Nanorobots to cure bladder cancer
Samuel Sánchez, group leader at IBEC, is interviewed on ABC and appears in the “Big Vang” section of La Vanguardia for his new project focused on bladder tumors using nanorobotics.
A new 3D muscle model will allow the study of aging and the evaluation of drugs and cosmetics
IBEC researchers develop a three-dimensional model of muscle tissue using bioprinting and tissue bioengineering techniques that allow reproducing their strength, contraction and aging profiles. The new model will have potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, cosmetics and robotics. In addition, it will open the doors to the study of morphological and functional alterations caused by muscle aging.
Samuel Sánchez’s Nanorobots against cancer will accelerate with support from the “La Caixa” Foundation
Samuel Sánchez and his team at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), earned the competitive call CaixaResearch for Health Research to develop nanorobots against bladder cancer. Sánchez, a pioneer in the field of self-propelled nanorobots, proposes to move in this way towards solutions against one of the most common, recurring and expensive forms of cancer to treat.
The heroes of the pandemic and their experience at IBEC, in tribute to the victims of COVID19
The brilliant medical student, Laia Marcos, has been one of the protagonists of the tribute broadcast by TVE to the victims of COVID19 that took place today at the Royal Palace. Marcos lived a decisive step in her life, during hher stay in the laboratory of the pioneer researcher Samuel Sánchez at IBEC, with the help of the also scientific and expert Maria Guix.
