About

The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) conducts excellent interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of engineering and life sciences in order to generate new knowledge by putting together fields like nanomedicine, biophysics, biotechnology, tissue engineering and the applications of health information technology.

The model envisaged by IBEC is inspired by a creative, innovative new ecosystem based on interaction between research experts in different technologies (nano-bio-info-cogno) to generate new knowledge and engineering solutions in health technology.

The scientific activity of IBEC is structured around three transformative applications that address major research challenges: bioengineering for emergent and advanced therapies, bioengineering for precision medicine, and bioengineering for global one health and pandemics.

BIOENGINEERING FOR EMERGENT AND ADVANCED THERAPIES: IBEC is working the following bioengineering tools for the development and production of advanced therapy products:

Gene Therapies
Cell Therapies
Tissue Engineering

BIOENGINEERING FOR PRECISION MEDICINE: IBEC focuses on

Enhance the data of High-Resolution Genome Variability Atlas Program to predict the effects of most genetic variants in our genomes.
Develop and offer improved humanized biomodels as well as their digital twins for precision intelligent medicine.
