The event brought together Unit coordinators, researchers, and technical staff from across Spain to foster collaboration, share scientific progress, and explore new opportunities for joint projects in biomedical research, nanomedicine, and biotechnology. The three-day event was designed to enhance synergy among all the units that make up NANBIOSIS, a distributed infrastructure providing cutting-edge services for biomaterials, nanomaterials, bioimaging, preclinical validation, and high-performance computing.
The meeting opened on 22 October with a welcome address by the Secretary General for Science of the Junta de Extremadura, who highlighted the strategic importance of research infrastructures like NANBIOSIS for innovation in health technologies. This was followed by an introduction to the initiative “Cutting Edge Biomedical Solutions”, reinforcing the mission of NANBIOSIS to support advanced biomedical development.
That afternoon, participants presented their work grouped under three scientific programmes:
- Programme 1: Production of Biomolecules
- Programme 2: Production of Biomaterials and Nanomaterials
- Programme 5: High-Performance Computing
The day concluded with a networking session encouraging informal exchanges and inter-unit dialogue, in the context of the outstanding facilities of CCMIJU, one of the three nodes that form NANBIOSIS.
From ICMAB, Mariana Köber, Guillem Vargas and José Amable participated in the meeting as members of Unit 6 of Nanbiosis: the ICMAB technical service SOFT. Some of its members are part of the Nanomol-Bio group as well.
The Nanbiosis network
In total, Nanbiosis has 27 units (27 laboratories/services) distributed throughout Spain. These laboratories belong to one of the three nodes that make up Nanbiosis: CIBER-BBN (to which the ICMAB unit belongs), the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, and Bionand.
