The IMB-CNM, present at the YoMo a festival to promote technologies among young people
The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) will participate in the next edition of the "Youth Mobile Festival Barcelona" (YoMo), from February 27 to March 2, offering young people the opportunity to enter in a white room to make the chips that are on the mobile phones
ICMAB and IMB-CNM participate in the European project KardiaTool, developing a portable device to detect heart failure from saliva samples
KardiaTool is a project funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program with € 4.9 M for the next 3.5 years. The results of KardiaTool will allow a quick, easy and efficient diagnosis at the point-of-care, and a personalized and improved therapy monitoring and health care for patients suffering from heart failure. Researchers from IMB-CNM (CSIC) participates in the project, which is formed by fourteen partners from ten different countries, including universities, research centers and enterprises.

The United Nations have proclaimed February 11 the International Day of Women and Girls in Science aiming to ensure full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.
Scientists emulate the human blood–retinal barrier on a microfluidic chip
The device contains living cells and mimics the structure and physiological conditions of the blood–retinal barrier. It can be use for testing molecules in vitro and studying diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. It has been developed by scientists at the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (IMB-CNM) of the CSIC, the CIBER-BBN centre, and at the UAB; together with scientists at the Diabetes and Metabolism group of the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and CIBERDEM- Institute of Health Carlos III.
