ICMAB’s contribution to the CSIC White Paper

Among the researchers collaborating in the definition of these strategies were some of ICMAB’s researchers, offering their expertise in this interdisciplinary effort:

Challenges in Biomedicine and Health

The 4^th topic, Challenges in biomedicine and Health, is looking to use our basic knowledge of the human body in search of its medium-and-long term clinical applications. This includes the development of new treatments, diagnosis, and prevention methods for illnesses that have a big impact worldwide. Within this topic, ICMAB has helped shape our understanding of:

Advanced therapies (Challenge 7), with Imma Ratera
Nanomedicine (Challenge 9) with Anna Roig, Jaume Veciana and Nora Ventosa

Clean, Safe and Efficient Energy

The 8^th topic, Clean, Safe and Efficient Energy faces the challenge of energetic production that is mindful of people and the environment, a field with a lot of potential that encapsulates many different challenges. With the objective of energy transition towards more efficient and sustainable models, ICMAB Researchers have contributed to face challenges in:

Renewable Energy Production (Challenge 1), with Mariano Campoy-Quiles, Xavier Granados, Xavier Obradors, Teresa Puig, Mariona Coll, Josep Fontcuberta, and Alejandro Goñi
Efficient Energy Storage (Challenge 2), with M. Rosa Palacín as coordinator, and Xavier Granados
Energy Efficiency and Harvesting (Challenge 3), with Mariano Campoy-Quiles
Industry Electrification and Grid Management (Challenge 4), with Teresa Puig, Xavier Granados and Xavier Obradors

Understanding the basic components of the universe, its structure & evolution

Understanding the basic components of the universe is the 9^th topic in the White Paper and it focuses on what matter is made off, the understanding and discovery of the laws that govern the universe, and its evolution. ICMAB Researchers are developing:

New instrumentation and techniques for understanding the universe, its structure and evolution (Challenge 8), with Lourdes Fàbrega as coordinator, and Teresa Puig

Digital & Complex Information

The 10^th topic, Complex and Digital Information, covers research that is trying to understand and improve the way technology affects our lives and society. In order to reach the maximum potential on new technologies, ICMAB Researchers have aided in this topics through:

Intelligent and sustainable electronic devices and systems (Challenge 1) with Martí Gich, Gervasi Herranz, Benjamín Martínez, Marta Mas and Anna Palau
Advanced Photonics (Challenge 2), with Gervasi Herranz and Agustín Mihi
Quantum Computing (Challenge 3) with Núria Crivillers
