New equipment adquired to improve NANBIOSIS U20

NANBIOSIS, U20. In Vivo Experimental Platform, led by Dr. Ibane Ibasolo, has been updated and improved as a result of its participation in the project FICTS1420-20, selected by the MICINN for co-financing by the FEDER Program in ICTS 2014-2020 (Equipment for setting standardized immunotoxicology assays for the U20 -NANBIOSIS I17 Action of the Investment Plan-)

A particle particle analyzer equipment (Exoid) has been inslalled at NANBIOSIS U20 for measurement of the concentration and the size of nanoparticles. The Exoid is the latest instrument from the Izon company to measure the physical characteristics of nanoparticles in electrolytic solution. Based on Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS) principles, the equipment is capable of measuring the size of the particles, their concentration and Z potential, through the use of a nanopore that allows measurements to be made in a defined size range.

Finally, a new upright laboratory freezer Liebherr _ SFNe 5227 has been adquired for the storage of the samples and reagents used in the different services of FVPR/U20,

The role of microfluidics and 3D-bioprinting in the future of exosome therapy. A high impact review

Researchers of the NanoBioCel research group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and CIBER BBN, belonging to NANBIOSIS U10 Drug Formulation, Bioaraba, and CONICET Foundation of Argentina, have collaborated in a studio entitled: “The role of microfluidics and 3D-bioprinting in the future of the exosome therapy” which has been published in the journal Trends in Biotechnology, whose editorial seeks particularly relevant articles.

The importance of this publication lies in the novelty and potential of nanovesicles as new therapeutic agents and the versatility of microfluidic technology in combination with 3D bioprinting to bring nanovesicles closer to the clinic.

Symposium Tribute to Prof. Pepe Becerra “40 years of the Bioengineering and Tissue Regeneration Laboratory (LABRET)”

Symposium on the occasion of the retirement of Prof. José Becerra Ratia: “40 years of the Bioengineering and Tissue Regeneration Laboratory (LABRET): tribute to Pepe Becerra”

We are pleased to inform about the Symposium organized by the LABRET group (Bioengineering and Tissue Regeneration Laboratory), University of Malaga, on the occasion of the retirement of Professor José Becerra.

The event will be held, only in person, on July 7 in the morning at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Malaga

Download the program.

Prof. José Becerra was the Director of the Andalusian Center for Nanomedicine and Biotechnology (BIONAND) since February 2014, before the merger of Bionand and IBIMA (Biomedical Research Institute of Malaga) as IBIMA-Plataforma BIONAND. In fact, Prof, José Becerra took an important role in the incorporation of BIONAND into the ICTS NANBIOSIS till then integrated by Cento de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER) in the area of Bioengineering, Biomaterial, and Centro de Cirugía de Mínima Invasión Jesús Usón, (CCMIJU) and he was also the first Director of the Unit 28 of NANBIOSIS.

In NANBIOSIS we want to show our gratitude to Prof. Becerra, with appreciation and admiration for his contribution to strengthening this ICTS.

Representatives of the Ministry of Science and Innovation visited unit 16 of NANBIOSIS

On May 16 representatives of the General Subdirectorate of Large Scientific-Technical Facilities of the Ministry of Science and Innovation visited unit 16 of NANBIOSIS (created by Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red -CIBER-, and the University of Extermadura).

Mrs. Beatriz Albella Rodríguez and Mrs. María Jesús Marcos Crespo, got to know first-hand the facilities of unit 16 of the CTS NANBIOSIS of “Surface Characterization and Calorimetry“ .

The visit was guided by the Scientific Director of Unit 16 of NANBIOSIS, Maria Luisa González Martín, and by Mr. Javier de Francisco Morcillo, Director of the Secretariat for Scientific Infrastructure and Technological Development Vice President for Research and Transfer of the University of Extremadura

The reason for the visit was to receive information on the use of European Regional Development Funds that have served to improve the infrastructures of the Spanish Map of Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructures (ICTS, in Spanish) to support scientific research.

During the last years, this unit 16 of NANBIOSIS ICTS has enlarged its capacities through the project FICTS1420-14-09, an investment of 1.3 million euros, co-financed with FEDER funds, the Ministry of Science and Innovation, and Junta de Extremadura, Regional Ministry of Economy, Science and Digital Agency.

This Unit 16, located in Badajoz, offers the performance of tasks of physical-chemical characterization of surfaces using techniques such as ellipsometry, calorimetry, X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS), and detection of secondary ions by means of mass spectrometry by time of flight (Tof-SIMS).
