New organ-on-chip models provide new information for targeted treatments in personalised medicine
Two reviews from the Biomedical Applications Group at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, CSIC, summarise the latest efforts in organ-on-chip technologies to emulate in vitro microfluidic systems. These devices are an opportunity to evolve the fields of biofabrication and sensing technology.
Graphene Flagship partner’s spin-off INBRAIN Neuroelectronics raises close to €15M to develop smart graphene-based neural implants for personalised therapies in brain disorders
INBRAIN Neuroelectronics is a spin-off company of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and ICREA. One of the founders is Anton Guimerà, researcher of the Group of Biomedical Applications at the Barcelona Institute of Microelectronics. INBRAIN has the mission to decode brain signals into medical solutions by developing intelligent neuroelectronic therapies based on graphene technology for application in patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s and other brain related disorders.
OneWeb successfully ends its fifth launch into space equipped with photodiodes developed in our Clean Room
IMB-CNM celebrates the success of the fifth launch of 36 of the OneWeb satellites, that happened this past dawn, which are equipped with photodiodes manufactured in the Clean Room of the Barcelona Institute of Microelectronics. The satellites are conformed of solar tracking sensors which contain silicon photodiodes that have been made in our centre.
