Emma Solà completes a research stay at TU Delft and Boschman Technologies
We talk with the PhD researcher from the Power Devices and Systems group after her stay in Netherlands with a Santander Open Academy grant
A heart-on-a-chip to better understand the human heart's response to drugs
Researchers at IDIBELL and IMB-CNM have developed a new vascularized cardiac model—a chip integrated with living cardiac tissue generated from human stem cells—that could advance our understanding of cardiotoxicity, one of the main barriers currently facing drug development. The new model is emerging as an alternative to reduce the use of animal models and prevent the discarding of promising drugs due to an overestimation of their cardiac toxicity
Data Management training to enhance PhD students' career development
The course aimed to strengthen participants' competencies in research data management and promote good scientific practices
New bioelectronic microdevices enable remote cell stimulation using ultrasound
Microdevices with piezoelectric nanostructures developed by the IMB-CNM and the UAB enable remote, effective, and controlled stimulation of cells. Activated by biomedical ultrasound, these microdevices generate electrical signals capable of inducing cellular responses, thereby opening new avenues for the development of less invasive and more precise therapies
