The latest developments in nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine were presented at the NanoBio&Med 2024 International Conference, held this week at the Barcelona Science Park (PCB) from 5 to 7 November. This is an annual event designed to establish new collaborations and promote innovative projects in the scientific-industrial sector.
IBEC researcher Samuel Sánchez has received a Leonardo Grant from the BBVA Foundation. The funding will help him take his research a step further and use organic and biocompatible materials to develop his nanorobots, which will be used as drug carriers to treat bladder cancer.
Samuel Sánchez, ICREA Research Professor at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), will lead the OrthoBots project, which focuses on the treatment of joint diseases using nanorobots. To carry out the project, Sánchez has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept Grant, a prestigious grant from the European Research Council.
